Ridgehorn

One of the six horns, built into the foot of the Long Reach. Ridgehorn looks out over Denglr's Bay and Strand, built at the time when dredge regularly emerged from the deep fjords nearby, threatening commerce. Over time the dredge diminished near Ridgehorn, then stopped altogether, the fort falling to disuse.

In actual, Ridgehorn along with other fortresses with the suffix "horn" in their name is a portal to the dredge homeworld built by the menders.
