Originally founded as a temporary outpost intended to rush for candy and make a suit of fine armour for an adventurer; the Fort underwent decades of uninterrupted siege, raven attacks and invasion by the HFS until it grew to the size of a veritable mountain-bastion of limestone and marble Dwarven ingenuity.
These were amongst the first structures dug in Silentthunders. The dead were buried here and statues and memorials of the fallen placed above them. As a result of the graveyards being in the evil side of the biome, the dead did not rest for long. This eventually became unsustainable and the Dwarves had to clear the graveyards and move the angered corpses to the catacombs, where they would at last attain their rest.
Memories of darker times still live in those graveyards. They say during certain nights you can still hear the restless undead and the swarms of undead raven that once infested the hallways.
No Dwarves return to those halls. The majority of the Fort's Dwarves, born after the great siege, will have never even seen of it or heard of it in their lives.
Old statues and memorials of the fallen are all that remain. - Last_Time
