At cell 65,33 and surrounds is a three level area waiting for Burgorum Castle to be built and populated.

What is Burgorum: In the local Sarach language it is Byrgo (Guard)

Various references are made to the location for instance:

IVth Alscoria Coritanicus Midius Calcus Secta Bacchus (4th Alscoria of Torvanicians the new acolytes of Midius, Bacchus own.)
Maintained of the XXXVth Alscoria of the East and becoming the IVth in Domie 38. In 131 part of the Millus Vallisarium founding Setanta and the ports of Astara Notiorum and Baranusium. In 177 this Alscoria appears in the ((H) Great Account of the Military) Comenta Litara Manidarum as being responsible for the policing of the border between Arnath and Scatha. They are recorded as garrisoning Talath Arnath Secuna from 164 to 180 when they were replaced by XIIth Alscoria. It is probable that owing to little need they were disbanded or reverted to a notiary status with a headquarters staff between 180 and 214. This is agreed by a note in the CLM that they were raised in Coritanicia in 215 IIIrd Era, presenting two dates for their creation some hundred years apart. No record exists of their destruction or surrender and that they are recorded in 215 as an Alscoria bearing Bacchus title that their prestige and pride was maintained during their disbandment, being reborn with the reinstatement. The eventual destruction of the IVth was at the battle of the Hartsdale with a lesser part being played by three of its Mellin retained at Byrgo Castle and remaining there until the fortress’s destruction only days later. With the loss of Byrgo Castle there are no more records of the IVth Alscoria. Nor was it raised again though a side tale remains of the heroic exploits of a Senevate and 20 men who defended the Emperors person during his flight to Illusidum.


The castle was built as a garrison initially, on the site of a Sarach castle (merely a pallisade fort) Then developed as follows:

The Alscoria were maintained by taxation which in different parts of the Empire had differing terms. In Sarachia it was the Tythe which taken annually was in the form of perishable food or livestock. In the case of Sarachia it went initially to Byrgo Castle and then was dispersed to the nearest and neediest. Beyond this an Alscoria that discharged its duties diligently, loyallyand with courage could receive an annual bounty from surplus. The surplus was of course entirely drawn from the raetia in which they found themselves at that time, it could be therefore more profitable to serve in VIII Alscoria Skatha Vissiana serving permanently in Skatha where gold and silver were mined but a soldier in that unit would probably suffer from a lack of fresh provision. In the IX Alscoria Sarachus a man would eat very well indeed and never lack Mead or Beer, whereas gold and precious stones would be scarce, if he saw them at all. Nevertheless an Alskior serving in Skatha was more likely to find a dagger across his throat or an arrow in his chest so the lure of such lucrative postings was very much a matter of opinion.

It would at the stage of the mod be an Imperial garrison but also a town in its own right. A place to guard the approaches to the pass through the barrier mountains. You will notice behind it a track leading up and over the mountains as an escape route (an ancient goat track).

Beyond that. Build it as you see fit and as you wish it to be.
