Rohrbruck
Rohrbruck was a large city on the Inselmoor and under the banner of the Kingdom of Krog. It was located along the Warden's Cross, a road that led towards Hopehold. This city was the first line of defense during the Bright Rebellion in 462 DE.
Rohrbruck was a major militaristic city where Krog's military was trained. The Kroggish military was deeply admired, and service to the crown was regarded as a high honor, no matter the position held. Those who lived in Rohrbruck were no strangers to battle, and they had a deeply ingrained warrior culture that was not seen anywhere else in Krog.
Description
As the primary defense of their country, Rohrbruck's culture and self-perceived purpose was to protect the Kingdom of Krog at all costs. Military training for officers and enlisted alike took place here. While the military held cultural significance, it also acted as a major trade hub for the country. Krog was unable to receive imports by land and instead used massive harbors for trade. Rohrbruck was the combination of both war and trade in service to the crown. Massive stone barracks, black-iron forges, and drill yards dominated the skyline alongside towering sea walls. The city was always busy with the sounds of marching boots and the clang of blades echoing through its streets. Beyond its martial legacy, Rohrbruck was a city of strict order, deep-rooted camaraderie, and a patriotic intensity that left little room for dissent. Citizens revered the military as both the protector and the ideal. Merchants and dockhands wore family crests and service medals with pride. In this city especially, those unfit or unwilling to serve often found life very cold and distant.Notable Locations
