Built in 377 YG, the five story round stone tower holds a great oil lamp and a bronze bell at its apex. At the base of the tower is a square barracks housing a half-dozen soldiers. A small garden, and barn are adjacent to the tower forming a small yard between them. Livestock at the post include a couple of cebuc and a small flock of chickens which provide fresh milk and eggs.
Postings usually last for a month at a time. For some soldiers, it is considered a punishment, as so little happens day-to-day.
