Established in [Irendille](/wiki/bicolline/regions/irendille/) territory since the year 914 of the first era, the [black fortress](/wiki/bicolline/places/arta-morna/) is the subject of incessant wars between the people of Irendille and the [dark elves](/wiki/bicolline/species/dark-elves/) of [Nasgaroth](/wiki/bicolline/regions/nasgaroth/).

Several times a year, murderous expeditions led jointly by dark elves and mountain [orcs](/wiki/bicolline/species/orcs/) bloody the northwest of the kingdom of Irendille. The hatred that the Mountain Orcs and Dark Elves have for the [Forest People](/wiki/bicolline/species/wood-elves/) is ancient. In 914 of the first era the dark elves completed the construction of a fortress on the coasts of the kingdom of Irendille, without the knowledge of the wood elves. This advanced post allowed the kingdom of Nasgaroth to establish itself firmly in Irendille to orchestrate its murderous raids. Most of these are carried out by brutal mercenaries recruited from the mountain orcs. Partially destroyed in 954 of the first era during the Battle of the Bud, burned in 967 of the first era, taken numerous times and recaptured as many times, this fortress of death is still a thorn in the kingdom of Irendille today. .
