Camp Dawn

Camp Dawn is the local stronghold for the knights of the Brazen Legion. Built just outside of the Haze, this square shaped encampment tops a low rise and is surrounded by a sturdy wooden palisade with moat. Watchtowers give the Legion a commanding view of the area, ensuring no monsters or other force can sneak up on the camp. Within, the camp is abuzz with activity as the soldiers and their supporting staff go about their business. Set some distance away from the camp stands a supply shed which is constantly under heavy guard. The wall has four gates at each of the cardinal directions and flanked by pairs of watchtowers.
As a military camp, the interior layout is orderly, with rows of tents for the soldiers and logistical staff. At the center is a bonfire, kept continuously alight through divine magic. It is here that the legion members are led in worship of the Sacred Flame by the Flamekeepers. Starting at the north gate and going clockwise around the camp are the stables, Flamekeeper tents, forge, command tent, knight's tents, griffon rookery, supply tents, and infirmary. 
Much of the Brazen Legion's forces are located here, but at any given time multiple teams are out on various missions, patrolling, scouting, retrieving holy relics from the ruins, or striking out at monstrous foes within the Haze.

Demographics

Many of the people within Camp Dawn are soldiers and paladins, but the bulk are the cooks, armorers, weaponsmiths, animal handlers, and other logistical personnel who keep the army moving.

Government

Camp Dawn is a military camp, under the command of Knight-Captain Elias Drexel.

Defences

Camp Dawn is surrounded by a heavy wooden palisade and a moat filled with sharpened spikes hidden beneath the water. Watchtowers on the corners and on either side of the gates are manned at all times by guards with horns and crossbows.

Industry & Trade

Supply wagons are constantly coming and going from the camp, bringing fresh food, water, and other supplies to the Brazen Legion.

Points of interest

Of note within the camp are the rookery, where the riding griffons reside, stables, infirmary, Pyre of the Sacred Flame, the Flamekeepers' tents, and the Command Post.

Geography

The Legion selected a low rise as the site for their camp and clear cut the surrounding area to give themselves a clear view and defensible camp from which to launch their missions.

Natural Resources

There is plenty of wood from the nearby forest, but all food, water, and most other supplies have to be brought in overland from nearby cities.
