![[battania 1.png]] # Dunglanys ## "Rock of [[Glanys]]" - Center of Battania --- # Backstory & History [[Dunglanys]], the 'Rock of [[Glanys]]', stands on a high crag overlooking the Llyn Tywal, the pool of darkness at the heart of the [[Battanian]] lands. It was named after an ancient queen who, legend has it, married in succession five high kings of [[High-Kingdom-of-Battania]], bestowing sovereignty upon them. It is the center of the rituals that underpin [[Battanian]] kingship, and though not every [[Battanian]] high king has ruled from here, all are eager to hold it. A town of [[High-Kingdom-of-Battania]] owned by Ergeon of the [[fen-Derngil]] and governed by Nywin. According to [[Asaios]]. (See page [[6]].) > [[Dunglanys]] is a mad jumble of walls and towers, some crumbling, some ready for war. **It looks as though some parts of the city have been fortified against others** - and indeed the townspeople told me that the Battanians' "High Kings" have vied for thousands of years to rule this sacred spot, and sometimes two or three High Kings ruled from different parts of the town and fought each other. Feuds may also explain the [[Battanian]] chieftains' predilection for walling themselves up in huge circular stone towers with few windows. --- # Game Files / Developer Diaries none ![[Pasted image 20240102140147.jpg]] ![dung 0001 2023 04 03 00.06.19](https://mountandblade2bannerlord.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Mount-and-Blade-2-Bannerlord/dung_0001_2023-04-03_00.06.19.jpg "dung_0001_2023-04-03_00.06.19") ![dung 0000 2023 04 02 22.57.38](https://mountandblade2bannerlord.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Mount-and-Blade-2-Bannerlord/dung_0000_2023-04-02_22.57.38.jpg "dung_0000_2023-04-02_22.57.38")
