Drakefort

"One day there will be a great city in here. I can already imagine it. The cobblestone streets run straight through the city and houses will be built from sturdy lumber that can withstand the worst of storms. The light of dozens of huge lightstones shines upon the city, and the streets are cornered with trees and bushes so vibrant and full of life, that their sap can be smelled throughout the whole city. The people are happy and wellfed, and no one needs to live in despair or agony. The citizens do not need to strugle for their survival. It is a silly dream, but our people deserve it. So please, dream with me for a while, my friend."

Demographics

The Drakefort is mostly a home to soldiers of Virghan Empire. Some other people also live there, but not much. Darksbane corporation has also been granted permission to built their outpost to the camp. The citizens are mostly distributeb by their original clans and tribes with only few soldiers mingling with each other unless they are forced to.

Government

The Drakefort serves as a command center of Virghan Empire on their assault to the Marghuin. It is also a intended capital for the Empire. The Drakefort is governed by Emperor Julian Ironwill and his Drake's Claws.

Industry & Trade

Few traders have gathered to newly claimed capital of Empire. Drakefort is also home to first Darksbane corporations outpost in continent of Virghan.

Infrastructure

At the moment Drakefort is just a huge military camp with few more solid buildings thrown in. A small river runs through it offering the source of water. Some building projects are in process in order to make the camp more of a city, but as the war against Marghuin is closing, not much resources are spent on them.

Guilds and Factions

Drakefort is strictly governed by Drake's Claw, and not many factions or guilds have possibility to be formed.

History

Drakefort was established as a command center and future capital of the Empire quickly after Julian Ironwill had succeeded in his conquest of Virghan. Drakefort is located in a natural bay that offers good safe haven for ships as well as good landing spot as the cliffs are high and the bottom very steep. There are also few areas with natural lightstones in close vicinity, and these areas are used to cultivate food for the army.
Ever after its founding the troops have gathered in Drakefort awaiting for the time to star the conquest of Marghuin. In the mean time some more permanent buildings have been built in hopes of the area serving as the capital of Empire some day.

Architecture

Drakefort is mostly made of tents and other shelter. Few rough buildings of stone and lumber can be found from the middle of the camp, but otherwise there is very few permanent buildings.

Geography

Drakefort is located in a deep fjord in the northern parts of Vighan. It is surrounded by high hills and a small river suns through the camp. Few patches of forests and fields lit by lightstones can be found from close by
