It is said that this peculiar ruin marks the site where the first settlers of decided to make their homes many years ago, though evidence to back up this claim is scarce as all the buildings were made of wood and were rebuilt and patched up with new wood frequently over time. Surviving records have confirmed that the old wooden hall was once part of a village that wiped out by a fire some time in the early 11th century of the Third Era. The survivors of this cataclysm would settle in the neighboring town of Evergreen Crossing, substantially bolstering its population.
