Leland Crossing
The centerpiece of this settlement is a long stone bridge west of Karmis crossing the wide river Karm. The bridge is heavily fortified with a gatehouse complex at either end and a central keep at the bridge’s midpoint. The fortifications had fallen into disrepair under the rule of Kings of Karmis, but has been restored under the supervision of Atheneis Shandie. Near either end of the bridge villages have grown up hosting several inns, stables, wheelwrights and other businesses that cater to travelers.
