Fort of Ekkest

== Fort of Ekkest ==
The Fort of Ekkest is a ruined fort that lies outside of the city of Falkeane to the east. The fort is one of the few buildings that are within the terrain of the Ekkest Mountains that still stands today. 
The fort itself is a stone brick structure that stands amongst the area, with a dark oak gates and some cobblestone placements, with the inside being a mainly farmland setup. Built into the hills inside the castle are multiple rooms, one that is set up for living, two empty, and one torn up to the open. There is a mine shaft on the southern side of the inner castle which drills down through the deepslate layers to the first layer of bedrock, fully installed with scaffolding and structural integral systems. It does drill through a dripstone cave, connecting to it with multiple bridges that seem to be used as a mining shaft or a populace holder.
Another aspect of this castle is the rooms underground of the fort which appears as one storage room, a bedroom, and an empty room that, on the outside, has been labelled as "dangerous", which poses questions into it's use. 
The land was last owned by a player named Hyderr_. While nothing is certain, considering there are three of his death markers in the chest storage by the furnaces, it could be possible he was the constructor of the fort. However, the fort most likely became ruined as of July or August of 2023 judging by the last appearance of the assumed owner. 
== Notes: ==
* Originally, due to a miscommunication, it was called Fort of Brothar. This was to coincide with the name of the area around Falkeane named Brotharaus.
