I'm sure Areo or Syn could find out who made it. I cannot remember, off hand.
However, an 'Empire' suggests far more than just a fort. It doesn't make sense that it would consist of a single location. Now, on the other hand, perhaps the aforementioned empire is subterranian. This could even be the basis for a whole new area, if the concept is good enough.
Mostly what I meant by goblins being savages was their theoretical inability to make complex standing stone structures. Kobolds might, perhaps, which would follow the whole 'Goblins in your base, killing your mans' train of thought.
