This is the first thing a visitor to the fort will see. Carved on the iron-bound and locked doors, the words are usually attributed to the writer/poet <span class="ITALIC">Kenu Opiro</span> from <span class="FORCELINK">Gi</span>. Beyond the fort are a few dunes and then the <span class="FORCELINK">Sea of Mour</span>, speckled with the seagulls that eat, [[sleep]], and dream, while bobbing on the deep green waters. | |||
The fort appears to be of recent build despite its decay, and so it is. The Morllass family came from <span class="FORCELINK">Morholt</span> in <span class="FORCELINK">1390</span>, although they were reluctant to say from which city or why they left. However, their money spoke for itself and they impressed the rich of <span class="FORCELINK">[[Huangjin]]</span> with their cosmopolitan ways. The patriarch Carraby and the matron Simone, their three grown children, Carraby's mother and Simone's aunt all took residence along with the requisite servants and staff. They fawned over their <span class="ITALIC"><span class="FORCELINK">mido</span></span>, sending gifts and swearing fealty. Later, it was discovered they had at the same time been currying favor with the families of the old <span class="ITALIC"><span class="FORCELINK">keitai</span></span> and some of the Bilkan nobles as well. The children, all boys and unmarried, came to be unwelcome at parties for their arrogance and boasting and the cutting mockery they heaped on the simple folk of the city. Carraby and Simone were still welcome since they took the time to learn the proper rules at least; although, they were widely regarded as sycophants. | The fort appears to be of recent build despite its decay, and so it is.
