A freak tornado swept through the region, blowing away and exposing how structurally unsound the white ivory tower really is.

In their desperation to distract the daft peasants from seeing the truth of how rotten their foundation have gotten over the generations and to save themselves from embarassment, the "natural aristocrats" hastily pointed to a distant fort now occupied by their foes.

"No, don't look here! Our foundation is rotten only because of good intentions!", they cried in unison, and added, "Look there! See that mess there? That is what structurally unsound looks like!".

But the fact remains, it was them who left the mess when they were forced to vacate some years ago.
