Border Fortress

King Pieter's Border Fortress is an expanded keep in Pieter Kingdom. Originally a wooden shed, it has grown in both size and sophistication since the early days of the New Age. Due to its unparalleled amount of features and resources, historical significance and central location it is generally considered the capital settlement of Pieter Kingdom.

Pieter's Border Bunker
Development of the area first began after King Pieter finished the Border Bridge (leading from Cactocide Village), the second-oldest remaining structure in Pieter Kingdom. When hostile mobs started flocking to the area during construction of the King's personal home in the woods, it was decided to guard the east door with a pit of lava. The plan backfired as the lava eventually lit the mostly wooden building on fire and all progress was lost. This upset the King to such an extent, that he left his Kingdom behind and went on a rampage, going wherever his emotions drove him (an event later referred to as the the Long March). After a prolonged stay at White Mountain he made his way back and expanded on what was left of his home, this time using inflammable cobblestone. This building was known as Pieter's Border Bunker. The lava surrounding the bunker was eventually replaced with water, a change to which a block of Obsidian bears testament to this day.

The Dungeon and Dixon Mine
It was not long after the cobblestone walls were finished that the local mob hideout was discovered: a dungeon featuring a zombie spawner. Pacifying the dungeon using walls and doors inadvertently led to the development of an underground smelting facility with an extra exit just outside the keep. This facility was later redubbed the Dixon Mine and expanded with a stairway leading to Pisa Manama's deepest depths, where the world's first portal to Hell was constructed. The materials mined in hell were eventually used for a complete overhaul of the bunker, leading to the current Netherbrick fortress. Dixon Mine itself is still being exploited for its Obsidian, which was used in the construction of Mada Tower.

Miscellaneous features and developments
On top of the these developments, the Border Fortress was naturally expanded with various features such as a resource cellar, anvil, brewery set and maximum-powered enchantment table. Its keep was also expanded several times and now includes a stable (containing the king's own horse) and a port (the fortress sits at the source of the Carved River). The area was eventually connected to various parts of the Kingdom through the Durin Line train station, Threepeaks Path and Whirlpool Mine tunnel.
