Orenstrom

The vanguard of the free people, Orenstrom exists at the border of the 'free state', a bannerless region of the northern realms who have renounced there fealty to the Durendal kingdom. Positioned between the vale of the Marauder Bluffs and the Jotun Highlands, this town is a bulwark of defensive holds upon the mountains surrounding it, watching closely for threats upon the mountains. Orenstroms population retains many warriors, who reside here when relieved from there watch, and therefore boasting a strong militia. Orenstrom is a military controlled town, populated primarily by the warriors of Ironbreach. It is the frontline garrison against threats in the valley, the domain of Estrana is kept safe by the sacrifice these warriors have given. Orenstrom does not have homesteads, but it does cater to travellers seeking rest. Orenstrom is divided into 3 holds: the north garrison, the central garrison and the southern garrison.

Demographics

Northern garrison
Consists of multiple strongholds upon the marauder bluffs peering down to towards the valley. The northern garrison has held strong against the orc marauder tribes, keeping these raiders away from Estrana for centuries.
Central garrison
A walled fort of wood with strong siege defenses on the northern and southern sides. The central garrison holds the reserves of Estranian warriors, as well as a few vendors and taverns to provide rest for travellers seeking to leave or enter the free domain.
Southern garrison
The southern garrison has a bloody history, with 3 of the 5 holds upon the jotun highlands are in near irrepairable damage from their defense against bloodthirsty trolls and tribes of giants. The southern garrison requires constant repair to keep it standing, and many have died keeping these monstrous beasts from entering the valley.
