Fort Breydon
Once just a sleepy border town in Campolea, with Reddale breaking away from the Kaelic Empire it suddenly found itself as the first line of defense between Sanctuary and the rest of the Empire. This lead the town of Breydon to quickly triple in size as a large fort was established.
Since it's difficult to supply a fort on the border of the Empire, this has worked out well for the regular folk of the town. Farmers increased production, merchants upped their orders, and the Empire simply paid the locals a small premium to make sure the soliders were supplied with their day to day needs. The Empire also employees a Navigator to make sure that the fort is kept up-to-date with the latest weather conditions, and this information is shared every morning on a slate in the main square along with the latest news from across the Empire. The fort also offers services generally only found in larger town such as a dedicated judiciary, a bounty hunters guild, and a public works department. The large contingent of Empririal soliders has also brought with it relative peace and safety as criminals are found and dealt with swiftly. At the same time acts of petty theft and intimidation by the soliders themselves are often overlooked. Many citizens view this as the price of protection and count themselves lucky overall, however; there is a discontent but vocal minority that protest these injustices.
