Tempus Keep

Fort Tempus is a fort in the Foreign Quarter of Shirekeep. It's used to defend the southern and western city districts of the capital. Since 4228 ASC it's also used as headquarters by the Apollonian Guard.

History

The fort was built after the Great Fire of Shirekeep in 4030 ASC during the reign of Kaiser B'Caw I. Revolts against the Babkhans and Anticans during this period (as they were seen as those responsible behind an evil plot to split Shireroth) led to violence and riots in the streets.

The city guard couldn't avoid that the people began burning down several houses. The houses in the Antican and Babkhan Quarters were, however, relatively old and not very fire safe.

It ended up in one of the largest fires that Shireroth had seen in 5,000 years: the largest parts of the city south of the Elwynn were destroyed. Kaiser B'Caw I gave the order to build a fortress on the place where no longer where any houses left.
