Salisbury

Important places:

Sarum
The largest city in Salisbury, Sarum is heavily fortified and home to the Earl. The city is shaped in a ring form, with several ramparts and ditches surrounding it. A quarter of the city is dedicated to church buildings, among which is a magnificent cathedral of Saint Mary, the Mother of God. In the middle of the city stands Sarum Castle which serves as the Earl of Salisbury's home. Sarum serves as the center of trade for the entire county. The Sarum castle was fortified with stone walls in 497, funded by the Salisbury Knights.

Stonehenge
It is rumored that Stonehenge was built by giants in ancient times, dedicated to the sun, stars and ancestors. It was here where the treacherous king Vortigern betrayed the nobles of Britain to Saxons. Recently, the Stonehenge has been refurbished by Merlin. The stone circle also serves as the burial site for the Pendragon family, holding Aurelius Ambrosius, the first Pendragon, his brother Uther, and Uther's son Madoc.
