Stormwatch Garrison stands where the Mistral River converges with the main trade route — a vital lynchpin controlling goods, people, and information between Fort Valiance and the frontier. Its imposing stone walls and fluttering banners are a constant reminder of noble authority.
Captain Elric Sorn, a seasoned veteran of tactical brilliance and strict discipline, commands 200 soldiers, 50 river guards on patrol boats, 30 forest rangers, and 20 mounted cavalry. The garrison taxes river traffic, escorts caravans, and serves as first warning against Frostfall raids.
High grey stone reinforced with timber palisades. Watchtowers with ballistae at regular intervals.
Squat, solid structure with commanding river and woodland views.
Well-guarded dock for patrol boats intercepting smugglers and raiders.
Self-sufficient with blacksmiths and carpenters maintaining readiness.
Beyond the garrison lies a small Caledrian village of fisherfolk, woodcutters, and artisans. The Windward Hearth inn offers rest to travelers, and a small marketplace caters to passing traders. Locals speak of shadowy figures in the forest at night and strange lights over the misty river.
