Construction along the North Ride

Out along the North Ride road, near by the refugee fort a dirt mound is being formed as a large pit takes shape. Banners bearing a black snarling hound can be seen at all the edges of the to-be construction sight. And materials are brought to just outside the refugee fort's moat. It would appear as though the Hounds have finally begun building something out in the middle of dangerous territory. It would appear their choice of location to be a bold one, choosing to remain far away from the protection of any military might and between a forest of undead, a bandit stronghold, and a mine notorious for being an entrance to the Underdark.

Book Mistress L would pass the site and sigh. "I suppose this location is no longer an option." And with that, she wanders off to consider other locations for a Library.

{{ Heheheh. Best location ever. >.> Great through traffic and so accessible. *sigh.* }}

Cruven plants a wooden sign out front of the construction sight, clearly it's made to be an advanced notice of some of the rules the Hound's fort will have in effect.
