Hold of the Hammerlord
In the central southern region of the Plains of Despair is the fortified keep known as the Hold of the Hammerlord. Ruled over by Maxxon the Hammerlord this keep serves many functions: a waystation for those traversing the Plains, a safehouse against the many dangers in the wilderness, and a hiring post for mercenary companies who wish to operate outside the bounds of the law.
The Hold is built overtop a large underground reservoir, and has the means of keeping itself self sufficient on the Plains of Despair; no small task. This does not mean that they do not welcome merchants and traders from distant lands, far from it. The bazaar in the Hold of the Hammerlord sells a wide variety of goods both mundane and exotic.
While visitors are free to govern themselves within the Hold, violence against any in the Hold is absolutely forbidden on punishment of banishment. When matters take on a more serious note, Maxxon, his Keepwardens, and his Efreet Bodyguard settle things quickly.
The Hold of the Hammerlord contains a multi-floored hostel/inn, stables big enough to hold a small army of mounts, a Temple of Ban-Daid, training halls, private rooms for extended stays, the Hammerlord's private quarters, and the Anvilsound; a tavern/gaming hall.
A number of mercenary companies are for hire out of the Hold of the Hammerlord, including: Siegfried's Siegers, the Grey Wolf Mercenary Company, Smythe's Warmages, The Crescent Moon Archers, and the Tanarite Horsemen.
