In Portal Year 21, the Ancient Lugian Fortress appeared. But just how ancient is it?
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.
Here is what we know about the Lugains:
- The Virindi were the first alien species to arrive on Auberean[1][2], and they arrived in -40 PY.[3]
- They were among the first species to arrive on Auberean.[4]
- Both Tumeroks and Lugians arrived prior to Humans.[2]
- The Tumeroks first began to arrive on Auberean in -29 PY.[3]
- A diagram of Auberean's history seems to indicate that Lugians arrived before Tumeroks.[5]
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. Not that ancient at all.
