Across the Border
Here are brief notes on Furyondian locations shown on the color map, reading west to east, for DMs who do not have The Marklands where these locations are detailed.
Castle Ehlenestra: A stone-walled, wooden castle, home of the ranger Sharnalem, noted for its well-trained tyrgs, mist wolf sentinels and Vesve woodsmen soldiers.
The Flare Line: This is a great highway along which supplies and large patrols and warbands move constantly from one defensive installation to another. Along the road, major earthworks and other defensive barriers are constantly being constructed and strengthened.
Redoubt: A great citadel with 2,000 soldiers, many of which are elite, on the frontier where the provincial ruler, Baron Kalinstren, lives.
