If one looked at Fort West from a distance, the white megalithic fort between the mountains was spectacular. When one stepped into it, the fortress appeared even more magnificent.
Hao Ren was not uneducated. From Holleta and Tannagost to Helcrown and Aerym, he had seen grander architecture and had a set of aesthetic standards of his own. But whichever way he looked at it, Fort West was a fantastic spectacle. The walls of the city were towering, and the white stones were glittering in the Light of the Order as if the fort was made of light. The huge magic runes spread from the top of the Kindle Tower down to the wall, forming a transparent energy shield with many blue letters on it. Everything seemed to embody one fact.
It was a shield that represented the confidence and courage of mortals. It stood here in glory, guarding the frontiers of the World of Order.
