Early Morning. First Brightening. The Month of Kalendryas in the Season of Winter, Era I of the Celestine Mandate, Era XV Post Fractum.
[ooc: At this time, Chargul is mostly employed between Taralon and Everdark Keep. These locations are currently assumed safe. Issue resolved!]
Chargul approached the construction site he had been ordered to work on in an early winter morning. The weather had not turned horribly cold just yet, though knowing the climate of the eastern parts of Sherian, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Preferably later. With him there was a group of bodyguards assigned to him by Eyvind, when he was first hired. He was also riding a horse, provided to him, as per Eyvind's instructions, to facilitate travel between locations.
With or without an adequate supply route to this location, it was necessary to start planning and design. There was supposed to be an actual fort already standing at the area that just needed actual restoration, though what remained, Chargul didn't know yet. He'd have to investigate it before conducting any serious work on it.
He knew what the Keep was to serve as. The primary staging grounds of any imperial legion acting on the western lands. It would essentially be one massive depot, with a huge capacity to store troops and supplies, as well as adding mobility between Taralon and the west. It simultaneously remained the second line of defence for Taralon, with the first line being the simple border forts that had yet to be built. Naturally, that meant that Everdark Keep was to effectively become the main line of defence, should anything ever go awry.
The actual forest was not too far away and the keep should be around there somewhere. He rode up to one of his bodyguards and asked him. "Soldier, Everdark Keep should be close to here, do you know where exactly?"
