Nogvurot
A major stop on the Glory Run Road heading towards the capital, Nogvurot host travelers making their way through the empire, many of whom need provisions and like to buy locally made trinkets as souvenirs of their journey. There is some business to be had in a small mine at the base of the Dunrock Mountains to the north of the city, but most Nogvurot folk earn their keep by crafting, farming, or joining the local military.

Geography
Oblong City divided between the eastern Aegis Block, housing the bulk of the stationed soldiers, and the western region of the city that is broken in to two sectors: the northern Scatters and the southern Peddler's Row. The scatters is the larger region, housing dive taverns, simple temples, and a majority of the populace, who live in rickety domiciles.
Peddler's Row, in contrast, is a bustling home of local craft guilds and a colorful, if muddy, marketplace where the Glory Run Road passes through the city.
Originally founded as a guard post near the Quannah Breach to watch for deadly creatures wandering from the Savalirwood, this settlement has since grown to be a fair-sized military reserve for the Righteous Brand. The regiment of the Righteous Brand stationed within the city would be the defending army against any assault headed for the capital, granting them the title of the last Aegis. Nearly half of the city's population is military reserve, with just over six thousand troops present at any given time. The bored or restless soldiers, seeking distraction and entertainment, developed the barracks of the Aegis Block into a place of sport and competitive game, often with impressive amounts of coin wagered on the outcomes. However, between reports of the Kryn taking the Ashguard Garrison and rumors of unexplained Kryn attacks within the Marrow Valley itself, the Aegis is very much on edge.
