Garantor Castle
Garantor Castle is a fortress town situated on the Western edge of The Perassic Sea, and Southwest of Charas. It is similarly designed to it's sister fortress Gersegos, as it sits situated in a line of smaller fortresses, designed to defend the Southernmost land approach. The The Western Calradian Empire knows how much The Aserai Confederacy covets Charas, and so has put a significant amount of effort into building up the town.
unique to this region, the local towns have been defending themselves against passing armies for centuries, and have a form of fighting using light skirmishing cavalry with javelins that are called Garantine cavalry. They are recruited and trained here for sending to other fronts, and are fiercely loyal to the empire, as the The Western Calradian Empire are the only one of the nations in their immediate vicinity not looking to raid and pillage their homes.
The plains lands surrounding the fortress town are home to villages producing wool from sheep, and pottery from numerous clay deposits. It isn't by any means a wealthy area, but the locals pride themselves on their self-sufficiency. They are also notoriously religious, and view foreign barbarians, especially the Swadians, as heathens.
The city is probed frequently by raiding parties from Quyaz, and so the soldiers here are both experienced, and traumatized, frequently causing trouble in town. The taverns here are particularly rowdy.
