The Keep of the Eternal Tree (also named Torreón del Árbol Eterno) is a Fortification designed primarily as a separate realm, but was integrated as a settlement of the Black Starwalkers on December 15, 2024.
The name of the Keep comes from the only fir tree in the area (located right at the edge of the southern wall) which symbolizes permanence in an ancient world, with the Keep definition coming from the first tower that was done on the Southwest. It's name was a suggestion from ZJTrayGamingYT, which Ervoss decided to use.
It's construction is still in development.
History
The earliest record of the beginning of the Keep dates from July 10th, 2024, and it stayed as a short island connected with a chunk border, until it's expansion in order to become a quadrant.
The construction that defined the course of the fortification was a 25-block-high tower begun on May 28, 2024, along with the expansion of the underground ravine and foundations of an old castle which was removed later on. The first walls to be built were the north and west ones, and before their completion, they underwent changes in height and width starting on August 12, 2024.

Landmarks
Convento de la Faz Trunca/Convent of the Mutilated Face
The first and biggest construction of the Keep excluding the main tower and walls is the Convento de la Faz Trunca. It was meant to be a palace, but it changed to a Charterhouse after some modifications within Ervoss' lore. The name of the building is a reference of the Convento de la Faz Denegrida, an area in the Blasphemous video game.
The real translation of the convent (Convent of the Mutilated Face) is mainly a reference of Ervoss' lore (detailing his penitence), referring on this in his book:
"Luego de sacudirme de la suciedad, sentí a través de mis dedillos la carne tarazada que tenía por faz, en tormento de haber rehuido del pasado; fuí sorprendido al inferir que había cumplido con dicha consigna, y determiné a olvidar los malos recuerdos, pensamientos y motivos por los que me encontraba tendido.
Árbol de la Providencia
[Needed information will be added in the future.]
Hierarchy & Laws
Following the BSW incorporation laws, the Keep follows the applicable laws of the Black Starwalkers, and ZJTrayGamingYT and the Generals have symbolic perms, however, Ervoss still has control over the place, which means he's the highest rank inside the Keep, unless it's required to follow ZJTrayGamingYT's orders. The Keep can get help outside BSW members, and it can accept people as long as they are not enemies of the BSW.
