Neer

Established in 4576 XC (3274 I.R.) on Lesser Bream island, this outpost added more protection and influence to the established Castorhagi presence elsewhere in the Breams. Today it consists of a single-walled citadel surrounded by a small settlement with attached ship repair and boatbuilding facilities. Governor Taneth also increased the outpost’s garrison from 1,000 to nearly 5,000, forcing the construction of new barracks, armories, and storehouses. Some question Taneth’s motives for this increase, and some go so far as to suggest that this is an invasion force to be used against the Hegemony to increase Taneth’s status and influence in Castorhage.
Neer has begun to service overflow traffic from the nearby facilities at Farthest Point. The Xha’en continue to keep a wary surveillance of the outpost, though as with Farthest Point, they sometimes take advantage of ship repair services here.
