High Horn - Высокий Рог

Lord Commandder Thursk Dembarron (LG hm P15).
His herald is Dhag Greybeard (LN hm R10).
The strongest concentration of Cormyte military forces in the west is located deep within the Stormhorn Mountains at a hold called High Horn. High Horn is a mammoth complex sitting atop a 1,000-foot-high mountain and consisting of multiple towers and various defensive structures. It houses approximately 400 soldiers (100 archers and 300 mixed). There is a knight (F3) for every group of 10 men, and the knights answer to the lord of High Horn,
High Horn guards the road to the West, specifically to prevent border raiders and marsh land-based lizardmen from entering through the pass where High Horn is situated. It also routes to nearby royal gem mines.
There are facilities for housing travelers, but they are quite spartan and the military extends only the most basic courtesies. The atmosphere is disciplined since the Lord Commander began improving the readiness of the forces in High Horn in light of the growing strength of the Zhentarim to the west. Perhaps because High Horn is such a well- defended structure, it has never had to face a major siege or attack.
High Horn is a great, grim fortress of high curving 60’ tall walls and frowning towers, and is the center of Cormyr’s military operations in the west side of the realm. It has multiple walls built around a small mountain peak in the Storm Horns, each defensible in it’s own right. To reach the center fortress, multiple great walls must be penetrated to reach the top of the mountain fortress
High Horn was built to defend Cormyr’s western borders against the dangers in and on the west side of the Storm Horns, and guard the only trade route moving through the western Storm Horns. It is located in north-western Storm Horns off of the primary trade route connecting the heartland of Cormyr to the lands to the west. It is named for the mountain it is built on, High Horn. The fortress is built around the top of Mount High Horn, and it’s great walls encircle the mountain top like a great rings until the fortress is reached on the top of the mountain
High Horn is the largest fortress on all of Cormyr, and is the wintering place for 10% of the Purple Dragon army. As such, it can house 4,000 Purple Dragon soldiers, 500 of which are cavalry, supported by Purple Dragon archers and footmen. A detachment of up to 20 War Wizards of Cormyr and a similar amount of priests (Tyr mostly, sometimes Tymora and Chauntea) support the Purple Dragons stationed at High Horn. Because of its size and importance, High Horn has extensive facilities to support the Purple Dragons and protected Caravans (allowed in the first ring). It holds enough supplies to withstand any season-long siege.
High Horn’s primary objective is defending the Storm Horns from denizens of the Storm Horns and “Border Raiders” (Bandits). Over the years, the Storm Horns have been tamed, and attacks from Border Raiders have become markedly less, so High Horns strategic location has become less important. However, as the western command of the Purple Dragons, and proximity to the Western Heartlands and outlying Cormyrian communities on the western side of the Storm Horns, it is non-the-less still very important. It’s cavalry patrol the primary trade route from Arabel to Greatgaunt, and can be used for other supporting activities in support of the Storm Horn watch towers, or nearby local villages.
High Horn’s Lord Commander is an annual appointment by the Lord High Marshall, but that commander often times keeps the appointment for many years. High Horn is currently commanded by Lord Commander Duke
