It’s said that one could get any item from throughout the entire region in Fort Boldman.

Though the town is primarily human, there is a small dwarf community, mostly miners.
  • Harden’s Ford

The primarily wood-built town also borders the White Woods and Gorbon Marsh. There’s a tall city wall across the southern front of the town to keep out wildlife and a dock on the riverfront. The town’s economy is based on the medicines and foodstuffs from the neighboring woods, marsh, and plains.

  • Mount Thundercast
    Mount Thundercast lies high up within the Rambaldi Mountains. Only one road goes into the village. Not many make the journey to the mountain village, and those who do often find it dangerous. The village is cut from mountain stone in a practical, functional way.
    There are several tales surrounding Mount Thunercast, many of which mention a strange form of magic that is neither divine, nor arcane. Some of the users of said magic claim it not to be magic, at all, but rather, something called “psionics.” Others claim that it is nothing more than the doings of an eccentric god. One of the towns legends suggest that the town was forged from lightning.

The castle was built into the mountain walls, but after several attacks of war, the fortifications fell and the town was destroyed. The royal family made it out safely, short of the King.
