Editing Continuity/Ancient Lugian Fortress (section)

In [[Portal Year 21]], the [[Ancient Lugian Fortress]] appeared. But just how ancient is it?
<br /><br />
Our basis for calling the fortress ancient is the [[Mine Chamberlain]], who, when given the [[Well-Balanced Lugian Greataxe]], tells you, ''"When I was a boy I heard stories of an ancient fortress. I never imagined it could be true."'' The axe itself, found in the fortress, is described as ancient as well.
<br /><br />
Here is what we know about when Lugains may have first arrived in Dereth:
* The Virindi were the first alien species to arrive on Auberean<ref>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM_CD_Lore/Bestiary/Derethian_Bestiary#Virindi|AC:DM Bestiary: Virindi]]</ref><ref name=AgesOfTheEmpyrean>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM CD Lore/Ages of the Empyrean|Ages of the Empyrean]]</ref>, and they arrived in -40 PY.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5>2003/03 [[The History of Auberean/Volume V: New Arrivals (-540 to 13)]]</ref>
* Lugians were among the first species to arrive on Auberean.<ref>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM_CD_Lore/Bestiary/Derethian_Bestiary#Lugians|AC:DM Bestiary: Lugians]]</ref>
* Both Tumeroks and Lugians arrived prior to Humans.<ref name=AgesOfTheEmpyrean />
* The Tumeroks first began to arrive on Auberean in -29 PY.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5 />
* A diagram of Auberean's history seems to indicate that Lugians arrived before Tumeroks.<ref>2003/03 [[The History of Auberean/A Diagram of Auberean's History]]</ref>
<br />
From all of that, we can assume that Lugians first arrived on Auberean between -40 and -29 PY. If the fortress was built by Lugians some time after their official arrival, that would mean that at most, it could be 61 to 50 years old when it was rediscovered.
<br /><br />
While we do not have any information on the lifespan of a Lugian, if the Mine Chamberlain heard stories of an ancient fortress when he was a boy, we can pretty safely assume he heard those stories at least 20 years ago, making the fortress only 41 to 30 years old when he may have heard those stories.
<br /><br />
One would expect an ancient fortress to be hundreds of years old, not just a few decades.
