Naronistras

A formidable castle in the heart of the city of Leun. This stronghold served as fortress, monastery and headquarters for the Daharai Order of the Circle and the Square.
Built from the ancient grand arena, the structure was as an ever-present reminder of the power of the Compact - that its majesty should be ostentatiously displayed in the capital of its old foe. The open arches of the arena were made into strong walls, and a gatehouse with steel sheeted doors of heavy wood enters onto the concourse, flanked by a pair of enfilading towers. A cistern was sunk beneath the fortress to guard against the perils of siege. The main body of the structure encircles the old arena floor, built atop tiers of seating. Its roof is embattled with bastions and parapets. Naronistras functioned as a miniature city unto itself, featuring many of the accoutrements of such.
Naronistras was renowned for its atrium garden, ornamented with ponds and fountains, flowers of all kinds, and a small clutch of banyan trees at the centre. It was a place of contemplation, rest and reflection for the brothers and sisters of the Circle and the Square, or any guest or traveler who stayed among them.
