The old fort on Weston Hill is nothing particularly interesting or unusual. It stands vigil over the countrysides in that western bit of the empire, sort of like a gargoyle on a ledge warding against evil spirits. Like the gargoyle statue, though, the old fort is nothing but a symbol. It’s was abandoned before construction […]
