===Geography===
Fort Amol is located in the southern forests of Eastmarch, where the White River meets the Darkwater River. Amol takes the traditional Nordic stronghold layout, with a large courtyard in the center, and the main building on the other side of the entrance. But Fort Amol is more than a fort. Amol Keep is used by a Thane of Windhelm, who is well-revered in their home. Outside of the Amol Walls, is several encampments and minor buildings created by the Nordic travelers moving between the major cities. These buildings are located on the road between the two rivers. Deldwine's Inn was an inn that operated out of Fort Amol. East of Amol Town is an encampment where several groups such as the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild would operate in Fort Amol. The land itself houses various resources, prompting several settlements to be built around the area, including Darkwater Crossing and Lost Knife Cave.

===Second Era===
During the Interregnum in 2E 582, Fort Amol was under the control of Thane Harvald, who was a well-respected member of Windhelm and the Ebonheart Pact. Fort Amol became a host of the Great Moot, a meeting between the leaders of the Ebonheart Pact, including Jorunn the Skald-King, the Nordic leader of the Pact. Around the same time, the Stormfist Clan had arrived into Eastmarch and attempted several assassination attempts on Jorunn the Skald-King. During the Moot's visit at Fort Amol, strange occurrences accorded in the area, prompting a search throughout the stronghold. Eventually, Jorunn was found poisoned by Lord Vurlop, a member of the Skald-King's entourage, who was a secret member of the Stormfist. Jorunn was poisoned by powerful Daedric magic, forcing the Pact to give him powerful spiritual healing, with the help of the Ternion Monks of Mistwatch and the Dreamwalker. Lord Vurlop was assassinated by an estranged warrior and Naryu Virian, an Agent of the Morag Tong.Events in Sleeping on the JobEvents in the Pride of a PrinceEvents in the War Council
