Borgnar

Borgnar

Population: ~148,000
Ruler: Chieftain Axelnar, A hulking bugbear who rules through fear and silence
Function: Trade, diplomacy, underground economy

Borgnar is a bastion of brutal order, unusual among Redmarch settlements for its enforced peace. Built across a narrow canyon pass and fortified by hidden towers, Borgnar thrives as the Redmarch’s primary hub for trade, both legal and shadowy. Weapons, slaves, poisons, and information are all sold here—just never drawn without permission. Chief Axelnar leads with absolute authority, backed by his elite enforcers, the Broken Fangs. Traders from every nation travel here, risking death for a chance at acquired Redmarch steel, fragments, and the services of mercenaries.

Districts

The Safe Market: Covered in leather-draped awnings, guarded on all sides, and filled with trade shouts and coded deals.
Vault-Town: Underground stone chambers used for storing riches, conducting high-value trades, and safeguarding illegal goods.
The Irontongue Halls: Where deals are struck and oaths are bound in blood. Inter-tribal diplomacy often unfolds here.
Whisper Square: An open-air plaza where gestures, glances, and tokens convey meaning faster than any tongue.

Fragment mine: Borgnar is home to a very productive fragment mine but they lack the expertise or tools to take full advantage.

The Gloamtongue School: A martial school that teaches the brutality of raiding warfare. if it had a specialty it would be an espionage and negotiation academy hidden beneath the market. it trains anyone in subterfuge, coded language, and blackmail.
