Cragmire Garrison
Centuries ago, long before the foundation of Cloudbreach, a pretty lord commanded the shores of the lake and the nearby iron ore and silver mines from a sturdy hilltop keep. Today, the refurbished ruin of that keep serves as home to more than 60 members of the United Provinces of Odis Militia, soldiers tasked with patrolling the roads, and keeping watch over the lizardfolk-infested Mistmarch to the south.
A third of the soldiers are always out on patrol, a wide circuit of the nearby roadways and wildlands that takes them away from Cragmire for a week at a time. Remaining soldiers drill, maintain the garrison, hunt, and familiarize themselves with local terrain.
Captain Tolliver Trask, the garrison's aging commander, distinguished himself in the War of Broken Souls and has the respect of his charges and of the community at large. He cares little about the day-to-day politics of Cragmire, and encourages his men to stay out of local business. He sees his job as critical to the defense of Cloudbreach. Cragmire is just something that happens to be near his important work.
