Harrowfar
Though ostensibly capital of the Rhemish Frontier, and thus under the jurisdiction of the Northmarches, the town of Harrowfar is located at the eastern edge of the Endless Hills, which are often also considered to be Westmarch territory. This confusion is, itself, indicative of the region surrounding Harrowfar, as no real control over these lands is maintained or presumed by any authority in Reme, though Harrowfar’s mayor does occasionally receive instructions from the duchess of the Northmarches, the duke of the Westmarch, or from the grand duke directly. When she’s lucky, these instructions do not contradict one another.
A rough border town, Harrowfar boasts steel-reinforced wooden palisades along with other defenses against the hostile gnoll tribes of the hills. Harrowfar’s full-time professional guard is unusually large for the town’s size and often provides protection for other settlers and travelers in the region. This guard force was originally funded by the grand duke as part of his sponsorship of the Harrowfar settling expedition.
