Fort Morllass is built on a small peninsula, surrounded by dunes and bluffs that share some of the rusty red with the Redlands to the north. There are no trees, only scrub and stands of reeds. The fort, built of imported [[stone]] and decorated in an ornate fashion more at home in the richest parts of <span class="FORCELINK">[[Katherian]]</span>, looks like a majestic dowager at a peasant wedding. | |||
The fort is more a castle and is decaying slowly. Some of the cornices have fallen and small bits of the friezes around the windows and doors litter the ground. The wind has mounded sand against the beach side, which contains the carriage door and empty [[animal]] pens; although, the beach has eroded since a recent tsunami and the back door now opens to a deep dune that drops to the tide. | The fort is more a castle and is decaying slowly.
