Ikana Castle Ruins (Total War)

Ikana is the capital of the Kingdom of Ikana.

History
Ikana predates the earliest settlements of the Hylians and Darknuts by many generations and it is perhaps the oldest city on record. It long served as the capital of the Ikanians and was once a fertile and lush establishment inside the canyon networks where it was built. Ikana served as a frequent battleground during the Ikana civil war as well, culminating into a fight between forces commanded by Igos against those of Captain Keeta. Ikana was plunged into Termina along with many other Ikanian cities shortly after the Ikana civil war escalated, likely due to offences against the Goddesses of Hyrule and their association with Majora.

Gameplay
Ikana is a very fortified location: it's impervious to assault from the south and to a lesser degree the west and east. The city can be directly assaulted from the northern gate from which invaders can progress to the inner gate that leads to the plaza. Armies can move in from the west an east via small mountain pathways but will eventually end up outside the main gate to the city. Infantry can assault the small mountain top outpost to the east and can enter the city's inner plaza via that path. Artillery can also set up shop just outside this outpost to lob their firepower into most of the city. There are numerous balconies and walls from which defenders can mount archers on in this city, not to mention roads wide enough for Ikana to make the most of its chariots.

Appearances
Ikana serves as the capital of the Kingdom of Ikana in the Freeform Campaign when it spawns.

Ikana also appears not yet cursed in the third Hyrule Historia mission, The Fall of Ikana, where it serves as the main battleground between the forces of Igos, Majora, Keeta and Gomess. Igos only realises his folly after Ikana has been devastated, and curses the Goddesses; in return the Goddesses plunge the entirety of Ikana into Termina.

Creator's Notes
''Not really much to say about Ikana I suppose. I just wanted the city to look like a dead and decaying wasteland like in Majora's Mask.''
