Curious as to what exactly was Castrum Novum in Mor Dhona, and how it fits into the current lore of the game though?

Castrum Novum, five years ago, was the Imperial stronghold in Mor Dhona where Castrum Centri sits today. Around the same period of time as the formation of the Grand Companies in response to the Garlean threat, the Empire began sending cohorts to harry Alliance forces across Eorzea in a bid to distract the Eorzeans from their construction of Castrum Novum in the heart of Eorzea.

What was the purpose of this Castrum? Led by the crazed Legatus Nael van Darnus, the VIIth Legion infiltrated deep into Eorzea in a desperate search for Allagan Tomestones and ceruleum used to power the Magitek Generator at the heart of the castrum. This Magitek Generator powered a Tomestone Signal that called to the Lesser Moon Dalamud and guided its descent to Hydaelyn.

In the quest United We Stand, the Grand Companies (who had up to this point operated separately) joined forces in an assault against the Castrum to defeat Nael van Darnus and destroy the magitek beacon and halt the descent of the red moon. They succeeded, thanks to the efforts of the Twelvesblades, but the destruction of the castrum did not stall Dalamud's descent. Nael van Darnus defeated the warriors and escaped to Coerthas.

Castrum Novum was destroyed by the Alliance in that assault, and it was from the scrap and ruins of Castrum Novum that the XIVth Legion, led by Legatus Gaius van Baelsar built Castrum Centri.
