Terminus

When it became clear that Samhain's followers were here for the duration, their first order of business was to found a new keep from which they could launch sorties. On reaching the easternmost expanse of the sea, they took advantage of a natural clearing and founded Terminus. The forests here were full of all sorts of creatures, and while they had skirted them along the shoreline in reaching this point, they realized that they would need somewhere safer to stay.

The keep quickly had its boundaries staked using wooden fortifications, cut from the nearby Schattenwald (Shadow forest, so named for its tendency to be left in the shadows of the nearby mountains). With this secure, they began to quarry stone from the Dawngrasp Mountains (for the mountains themselves seemed ready to seize the Sun from the air). The troops worked tirelessly, for their eldritch bodies needed no rest.

Terminus is a brooding keep. Her lines are imposing, and have laid a foundation for when they can be expanded upon. Eventually there will be great towers, moats extending from the sea, and massive garrisons. Perhaps similarly important is the goal to add buttresses, arches, and statues to the keep. While there has not yet been the opportunity, the foundation has been planted for truly imposing architecture.

The Terminus garrison is, so far, remarkably optimistic. The new keep is just the start of what they want to create, and they are excited for what comes next. The offshore fishing so far has proven extensive, although dangerous. The wildlife in the sea includes all manner of beasts, as though the most deadly aspects of Ghur have been concentrated in one place. Hunting in the forest is not much safer, as the woods team with ogors, beastmen, gargants, and more. It would be hard to find somewhere more inhospitable. In many ways, Terminus stands in defiance of the region. In an inhospitable place, in defiance of the surrounding region, this is the final glimmer of civilization. But in a way, it’s also the first, for these are new lands. Terminus is a dual sided promise.
