Adamant Fortress

Adamant Fortress is an Orlesian fortress in the Western Approach. It stands on the very edge of the Abyssal Rift—a deep chasm that is believed to run as far down as the Deep Roads.
== Background ==
The fortress was constructed with the help of dwarves.Codex entry: Adamant Fortress The building appears to be not very large but quite sturdy, with tall walls made of dark jetstone, massive gate with archer towers on both sides, and metal ramparts. It's built into the side of the chasm with vast halls down below. Once, it belonged to the Grey Wardens who beat back the darkspawn that rose from the chasm during the Second Blight, becoming a symbol of their impossible achievement. Then, it housed more than a thousand men and griffons—with weyrs opened onto the chasm.Dragon Age: Asunder, chapters 9, 10
With passing years, the Western Approach became a wasteland and maintaining the keep became more and more expensive in the eyes of the visiting Warden-Commanders. The sacrifices of the order became a distant memory to the locals, who despite demon attacks on the area's population considered only the Grey Wardens themselves to truly be in danger from the thin Veil and the darkspawn crawling out of the Abyssal Rift. As personnel dwindled and the griffons no longer helped surveil the badlands, the Wardens ultimately pulled back in disgrace to Montsimmard. At the dawning of the Blessed Age, Adamant fortress was abandoned, having become a symbol of the Wardens' decline in the region.The Fortress of Adamant. Electronic Arts official page.

Adamant Fortress concept art.jpg|Concept art of the Adamant fortress: "The first drawings of Adamant portrayed it as more of a monastery, so that it would appear to be self-sustaining. The Wardens who are posted there would cultivate their own food, weave their own fabric, etc."Matt Rhodes' Artstation
