Trinbar


Trinbar, the green dragon that rests in the margins of Sirion River. First defense of Sirion. In the northern hills the main fortress crowns the elevations of the land. The motte is a raised earth mound in the form of a small, often artificial hill and topped with an imposing construction with walls of gray stone and great watchtowers: the Keep, also known as Dragon's Nest. In the highest towers the Lord has a wide vision of the hot deserts of Sermbar and the arid lands of Tabost. It is also good observation point of the movement of ships in Sirion River and of the Sirion towers in the horizon.


The earth for the mound would be taken from a ditch, dug around the whole castle. The outer surface of the mound is strengthened with wooden supports. Two baileys flank the Keep. One to the north and one to the south. The baileys are surrounded by palisades built of mid sized trunks of trees aligned vertically, with no spacing in between and sharpened at the top, which would be overlooked by the Keep.


The northern bailey protects Local Lord's lands and the gates that protect the roads for Sermbar and Sir Temple. A contingent of the local militia patrols the palisades and protect the gates. The safety is reinforced to keep the timber drawbridge that gives access to the motte, which could be separated from the bailey as a last defense mechanism. This road is more used by soldiers that need to travel for the territories of Sirion. The southern bailey is the most important. It was often directly connected to the ditch surrounding the motte. The bailey was often enclosed inside another wooden palisade and surrounding ditch, so as to add an extra layer of protection. It was also connected to the motte by another timber drawbridge.


The southern bailey is an enclosed courtyard. Around of the great square are the main constructions destined to the bureaucratic works and the great hall where the Lord receives the population and hold courts. The central square was built with beautiful white stones and with a majestic garden. Among the most important constructions and in the middle of the garden there is an imposing white tree that was brought of Old Rancagua in a distant past. Many houses for the nobility were also built around of the main square to the south, where are the stables, the market, the house oh healing, cartbuilders, banner manufacture, scouts guild, traders supplies, recruitment centers and the noisy weapon 'n armour smiths. A mixture of people, colors and sounds. The militia protects two gates. One to the south, for the farms and for Tabost and other to east with two small towers to protect the bridge that ties Trinbar and Sirion. A magnificent vision of the great walls and towers of the Capital of Sirion.


Out of the fortifications, to the south of the territory, great farms of wheat and barley populate the plains. Trinbar stands out in the creation of horses, cattle and sheep. The fishing activity is also very varied along Sirion River. In the hot summer the people will take a bath in the river and celebrate with the best beer of Sirion, produced in Trinbar.
