Fort Drakon

Fort Drakon is an ancient fortress that predates the city of Denerim and is both the oldest and the tallest structure in the city. 
== Background ==
The location of Fort Drakon was originally an outpost of the Tevinter Imperium. The Imperium's mages built a tower rising out of a mountain to symbolize its power. The city of Denerim was built around the tower, and after the Imperium lost control of the region, it passed through the control of different teyrns who ruled the area. The city's population could retreat into the fort if it was threatened. Eventually Fort Drakon settled under the command of the Arl of Denerim. It is now used as a garrison for Denerim’s city guard as well as a prison. Its current name comes from Emperor Drakon, First Emperor of Orlais.Dragon Age: Origins: Collector's Edition: Prima Official Game Guide
