Fort Yina

Fort Yina is a large fortress built by the Red Kingdom around the year 1000, around their rise to power. Like the four other Kingdom Fortresses, Fort Yina is a Multi Reality Space, as well as having other strange properties. The fort is a very significant area due to its history, and use in the Battle against the dragon in Reality M.

## Overview

The Fort is located atop a plateau looking over The Windswept Valley, where Corrie M Fell at the beginning of the book. Fort Yina is comprised of many different buildings built atop a giant 75x75 Kilometre square of bricks. The outer 50x50 KM area contains all the buildings, while the inner 25x25 KM area contains the battlefield that would later see the battle against Reality M's Crystal Guardian Dragon. The buildings had a wide variety of purposes while the fort was in use, ranging from living quarters, to meeting spots, to watch towers, to storage houses. The buildings stopped seeing use around the GCW, and were never used again. Some of the buildings remain pristine, while others lie in ruin. The one constant being that all of the circular glass lanterns remain intact and turn on when the sun sets. These lights are invincible, proved by Pollux in his act in Chapter 2 in Book 1 when he stomped on one seeing if they were breakable. Another strange quality of the fort is that no plants can grow there. Even where there is exposed dirt such as in planters, nothing has ever seeded there. The Waterfall it sits atop seems to draw its water from nowhere, but it draws from a hidden river underneath the fort that is used to supply energy to the Fort.

## History of Events

The Fort has quite a rich history, being around for a long time at the beginning of the story and lasting much into the future. At the beginning of its life, it was used by the Red Kingdom as a main base of operations as they plotted against the other kingdoms. Shortly after the huge loss of the GCW, the Red Kingdom abandoned the fort and set up other hideouts around the island of Stonemill, eventually branching out and establishing some in Rosedell and Ironhall. These smaller hideouts are much smaller and hidden forests such as Viridan Forest in Stonemill, and The Dark Forest in Rosedell. Ever since Pollux was able to walk in the year 2000, he visited the fort every day, taking in the scenery. In the Year 2058 the Heroes of Reality M would face off against the Crystal Guardian Dragon which was formed by Korro Yina, Mike Harannie, and Stephan Kalario. Although the heroes were successful, many were lost including Adries, Alpha, and Kiri. Shortly after the battle was won, a wormhole dropped the survivors of Reality K and Reality T's dragon fights at the fort, As this happened, The Three remaining realities merged together, effectively making many planets much larger, including IZ 144. Much later in the future, in the year 3999, on the last day of the year most of the heroes of the Third Book would unite and were transported to SI 176, also known as New Home. As the year turned to 4000, wars on the now almost entirely corrupted IZ 144 broke out, and by the end of January, every corrupted pandorian and coronian was dead, all having killed each other, leaving only two people on the planet; Atlas and Sei, The former of which would shortly be transported to SI 176. As time passed on the planet, the geology of Stonemill would drastically change, and by the year 5000 on the planet (1000 on SI 176) the fort would be partially flooded and the Windswept Valley Entirely Underwater. The Story Ends (probably for now) shortly after the year 5000 with all the surviving heroes living in a hidden city on SI 176 having completed their goal of (almost) entirely ridding the world of the corruption.

## Notes & Trivia

* Fort Yina was named after Lord Yina I, the first leader of the Red Kingdom who ordered its construction.
	+ Although Korro shares the same name being a descendant of Lord Yina I, he had his surname changed at birth to Selorina as to avoid suspicion of being a member of the Red Kingdom, as at that time the Yinas had changed their surname for a couple generations following the Great Pandorra War so that they wouldn't be killed
