Adamant fortress is an Orlesian fortress constructed by dwarves in the Western Approach that stands on the very edge of the Abyssal Rift - a deep chasm that is believed it spans run as far down as the Deep Roads.
Background
The fortress appears to be small, but is sturdy, with tall walls made of dark jetstone. In fact it is built into the side of the chasm with vast halls down below. Once, it belonged to the Grey Wardens who battled the darkspawn that rose from the chasm during the Second Blight. Then it housed more than a thousand men and griffons - the old weyrs opened onto the chasm. In time, the Wardens abandoned the fortress, but some residents lingered.
With passing years, the Western Approach became a wasteland and maintaining the keep became more and more expensive, especially since the Veil in the place was weak and escaping demons claimed many lives. At the dawning of the Blessed Age, Adamant fortress was abandoned and the Grey Wardens retreated to Montsimmard[2].
Involvement
The keep became a home for the Tranquil named Pharamond, who conducted his research there due to the Veil being very thin. The keep's inhabitants supported his research and even sealed the keep at the Lord Mayor's suggestion. As a result of his experiments, the fortress was overrun by demons in 9:40 Dragon. All buildings but the keep itself were burned to the ground, and most of the inhabitants were killed and their corpses were possessed.
The only survivor who was found was a female human named Dabrissa.[3]
