Margen Hall

Margen Hall was the seat of power for the Riverlands and provided the Thegndom of Velincant with its vigilant watchtowers and key road to Aqua Cascade.

History
Margen Hall was built in 434 S.A to serve as a seat of power for the Riverlands and Stonedale by Murfie Highcliff. It was built alongside the watchtowers which defined the Riverlands, and of course the Little Boat Inn. It served House Highcliff until 856 S.A when it was handed to House Sieward and served them for the rest of it's history. With only House Ward taking the place when House Sieward was banished by Brigard Thorn.

Geography
Margen Hall sat on an outcrop that forms the bottom of Green Bay. With only a narrow and steep path to it, it was highly defensible in times of need.

Etymology
The origin of Margen is unclear but it is thought to be an old Stúnic word. The name Steading refers to it being a farmstead where people live coming from the shortened "Farmstead" and Stúnic suffix -ing meaning "where are people."
