Northfort
Northfort, the capital city of the Frosmor Region on the continent of Eagos, is a prominent and bustling urban center with a distinct reputation for its industrial prowess and a strong security presence. The city's economic landscape is characterized by a thriving industrial sector, encompassing manufacturing, trade, and various other enterprises. The clanking of machinery and the hum of factories contribute to the city's dynamic and energetic atmosphere.
