Etymology
The name may be derived from ancient Ahngrit, meaning “near/of our birth”, referring to the legend of the Godmen in which humanity is said to have originated in region now lost beneath the sea. It also relates to the god.
During the Long War the Anretians built a fortified tower as a lookout and staging post, though it proved costly to defend and maintain and was later abandoned. For a time the Rock was used as a lighthouse, and briefly as a prison, but that also fell into disuse.
