What the campaign says about it
Naseong Fortress is believed to have been built around 538 CE when Baekje moved its capital from Ungjin to Sabi. Starting from Busosanseong Fortress, Naseong surrounds the northern and eastern outskirts of the city whereas the Geumgang River protects the city to the south and west. The Fortress wall that separates the inside and outside of the capital differs slightly depending on the topography, but most sections were built using compacted soil. Ruins of a beacon and a structure remain on the highest peak, and it appears that the Fortress featured a royal palace, government offices, and private residences.
