A Rook is a fortress used as both fortification of the Order of Eläinrata's inner wall and as living quarters for the member of one specific House. There are twelve Rooks that are built in a circle around the Order's Headquarters, one for each of the Houses.
History[]
The twelve Rooks were originally built on the first inner wall, before the Order of Eläinrata had double fortification. When an additional wall was built further around the first one, the Rooks were initially kept in the central wall. After destruction of both walls during an attack of the Four Fiends however, the Rooks were moved to the then outer wall.
Both walls were destroyed again later, in late Phoenix Era, and the outer one was restored but the inner was not. Not long after, the construction of a new and modern outer wall further away started. The previous outer wall with the Rooks was kept and became the new inner wall.
