Fort Romaris

== Fort Romaris was an Iludin base on the border between Divern and the now defunct state known as the Romaran Parish. ==
=== Establishment ===
The base was originally built as a fortress-monastery by the Church of Night and Day. The site was chosen because it was the death site and tomb of Saint Romaris vin'Tathlyk, a high elf paladin who led the defense of the early farms and towns in the region against bandits and marauders until his death by a curse laid by a Stygian Priest. He managed to slay the priest before the curse claimed him, and his the site was declared holy. Initially the area was defended by monks from the Church, but there numbers were never great due to the religions requirements of being a monk. Eventually the Order took over defense of the region once they reached it and partnered with the Church Governors.
==== Strategic Significance ====
The Fort lay between fertile farmland important to the lands that would someday be Divern. The region was settled by Kell, Goblins, and Firbolg who had tired of wandering, but they were pursued by traditional enemy tribes of those and other peoples. The region remained a hotbed of conflict over crops and other resources, such as bountiful copper mines. It also guarded a valley that led almost directly to the then-capital of Chamilyeaun of(Sha-mill-Yone).
