What building was at the top of The Rock in Akila

[Ez Duzit]

Wondering what building this is/was?
If you go to the bar in the rock (WHERE THE RANGERS HANG OUT) and go up 1 flight of stairs and then turn right, you will see a long hallway. If you walk to the end of that hallway and go thru the double doors at the end, you come out on a section of The Rock exposed to the outdoors. And straight ahead just a few feet beyond the doors is the remains of what appears to be a small building with a plaque with non legible writing on it.

So I can't help but wonder, what was that building? And why is the plaque some scribble?

It looks like an archaeological site, perhaps the first city 'tower', as it overlooks a gate in the outer wall? I really have no idea. Maybe someone will recognise the writing.

Thanks for posting a pic.
It's weird since I've been out on that patio a bunch of times and never noticed it until the other day. But it really got me curious how it fits in with the lore. Agree with you that it's probably something like the first tower or similar. But what the heck is with the strange writing. That just made me more curious.

Looks almost Arabic, but not quite...

So here are my thoughts after observing the area.

It was a building of some significance that was MOVED to that location. I don't know if the picture is supposed to be it at its actual location or just something someone threw in there.

Those mountains, do not exist in that orientation from the Back of the rock. Even dismissing the Snow aspects the shapes are all wrong. The closest I could even remotely believe is Facing the Building and look to your two o clock and you may make an arguement for something similar.

Climb up to the Tippy Top of the Rock and take a good look around and try to site those mountains.

Speculation: It was Solomon Coe's home from earth.

Edit: Corrected, term. Nobody gets born in log cabins or adobe huts (Joking, People do it all the time. )

That's not a bad hypothesis. Could well be a 'significant' building relocated, or copied, from somewhere else.

Why place the building remnants there and then intentionally put obscure writing beneath the picture as a description? Why not just say what it was?
What ever it was, it could've fit nicely into the lore.

My guess.

That is where Solomon Coe rested his feet with a bottle of Solomon's Reserve after reinventing the Lone Star state of Texas as the Freestar Collective and breathing life back into the Texas Rangers, giving them new purpose amid the stars.
