Long before Atrus visited the Age for the first time, it was a prosperous island city protected by three guard towers on the three tallest hills. One day, it was attacked by a pirate fleet of [[black ships]] that arrived with darkened skies. The island sank into the ocean, leaving only the tops of the three guard tower hills still exposed. The few who survived the attack told Atrus when he arrived that the pirates would one day return to finish their destruction of the city. In response, Atrus helped the survivors build the fortress to keep them safe. When the pirates did eventually return, they were unable to destroy the newly-fortified remains of the city, and departed again. The villagers feared that the pirates would return again, however, because the skies remained dark and cloudy, and they believed that the sun would only come out again once the pirates were totally defeated. | Long before Atrus visited the Age for the first time, it was a prosperous island city protected by three guard towers on the three tallest hills.

The fate of the survivors is currently unknown, particularly in light of Sirrus and Achenar's takeover of the fortress's main rooms. It is also unknown whether the pirates still threaten the fortress. The skies are now clear and blue, which could indicate that they were ultimately defeated, but the evidence is largely circumstantial. | The fate of the survivors is currently unknown, particularly in light of Sirrus and Achenar's takeover of the fortress's main rooms.
