A small Outpost was established in [[Chapter Three|'''Gellion's Cross''']], a short trip from the borders of '''[[Bormar]]'''. Due to the discovery of an ancient document by Lord Tolbar Maldus that hinted at an ancient Dwarven presence in the area, an expedition was launched to settle the land and unravel its mysteries.
Line 36:
The apprehension of Ankoth Reknor for the murder of Roslynn Vidluf was another chief priority. Kalastra and Reknor had several meetings and discussions in an attempt at holding a fair trial for the latter's actions. Sadly, these efforts were not successful and Reknor was declared an enemy of the Outpost and slain by Kalastra and Kon Belben's newly-formed molir.

=== The Dockyard ===

The dockyard of Kon Belben was a great endeavor that took many long weeks to complete. It was made of solid stone and included two long piers protecting a central docking point. The piers led down to a market area, where several traders from the Fitgins & Sons Trading Company hawked their wares to the Outpost's Dwarves. Visitors to the Kon Belben dockyard included a '''[[Grol]]''' trader known as Belbo the Amazing who arrived on a vessel of dubious origins to sell a great variety of rare goods. The Fitgins & Sons vessel, ''The Acquirer'', also made port here during Trade Officer Doratrir's negotiations with the Kon Belben to establish a proper trade route.
=== The Sobal Observatory & Constellarium ===
[[File:Constellarium.png|thumb|The Sobal Observatory Constellarium. Planetary bodies Left to Right: Alea, Reyna, the Sun, Lirgna, Herla, and Ibos.|alt=|310x310px]]
The Sobal Observatory was a cutting-edge facility built for the purpose of furthering Bormar's knowledge of the heavens above. Built and managed by Cruinne Sobal, the Observatory was also home to Vemghall Astrology, a members-only astrology association that never quite got off the ground. There was also a lounge for relaxation and [[Telkrat|'''telkrat''']] as well as a large glass-domed roof which a telescope with which the planets and stars could be viewed.
Line 92:
The library of Kon Belben has many old names and past owners. The Dwarf to establish the building was Keeper Magog, a Wordsmith from Bormar who was highly involved in the Outpost's earliest days. He opened the library on the 1st of Jantag, and its name was the Carpe Diem Bibliotheca, which he later renovated to have a museum. Keeper Magog infamously locked the library doors after Thorgrin Metalfist was elected Ceannard. Facing public backlash, Magog left the Outpost and the library fell without an owner.
Upon Kell Kalastra's rise to the Ceannardship, the newly appointed Lorekeeper Vokhurum Regvari took it upon himself to renovate the library from the ground up. The layout was changed dramatically and could hardly be recognized from Magog's initial structure. Later, the Dwarf known only as Q.E.D. arrived in Kon Belben and, having surveyed the mostly-built library, asked Ceannard Kalastra for permission to continue construction. Permission was quickly given and the library proceeded to its final, finished version:
