Crystal Fortress

The Crystal Fortress was the legendary super-weapon of the Marcon Alliance. It's location is unknown and recorded only in secondary-sources. The most likely explanation is that it was destroyed by the Gudersnipe Army in B.G.A. 301. The Foundation has always remained silent on the matter(both officially and unofficially) and remains of the weapon have never been found.

Purpose

The Court consisted of the 1001 most powerful wizards in the entire Marcon Alliance(including the Emperor). This group of mages had two towers they operated out of: one at the capitol on Lake Bentika and one at Centered. From these towers, they could cast their most powerful spells.

The problem, then, became getting those spells to a target. The entire court could not be moved whenever a spell was needed, so the Fortress was constructed to act as a way-point. Situated very high above either tower, spells could be redirected to any point on the Greater Continent, or through a portal to other worlds, allowing the court to command the entire empire.
