Ercia

Ercia was a powerful fortress in Eccicya.

History
Ercia is a holding in Eccicya. Not much is known of its history besides it being inherited by Lord Erwion.

Architecture and Details
Ercia is a well-defended fortress near the coast. It has a surrounding wall with a large keep. While the courtyard is relatively small, the keep is impressive. It has several giant halls with bridges running through them. The interior is large enough to house many soldiers and servants. It shares some similarities with other Eccicyan structures such as Neritonis. Namely, it's relatively short crenellations.

Ercia also has a gate that must be raised by turning a wheel.

Season 1
William takes refuge at Ercia where he informs Lord Erwion of his brother's dealings. After Henry orders Erwion and William's arrests, Erwion orders his soldiers to defend his lands. Erwion later suggests they retreat to the fortress if the battle goes badly. Erwion only leaves a few men in the fortress when he travels north to Magidor.

Season 2
The Masked Raiders attack the fortress in a night-time raid. They quickly overrun the stronghold and execute the prisoners. Anything flammable within the fortress is then set alight. Richard later has a vision of the ruined structure with heads spiked over the battlements.
