Shieldfane

The city of Shieldfane is built against the southern wall of the Shield Basilica of Muir. Those hoping to join the order of paladins, or those desiring the protection of a patrolled area in the middle of a wilderness, congregate here. It is primarily a trading post, with companies providing supplies for the Shield Basilica but also for adventurers, prospectors, and others eking out a living in the area. A small defense force protects the city from domestic troubles, with most members hoping to gain the positive attention of Muir’s paladins through their actions.
The Shield Basilica of Muir was founded to protect the more-settled areas of the south from repeated invasions of humanoid armies from the Kanderi Desert. With the fortress physically blocking the way for armies (though small groups of travelers can still get through), the Shield Basilica has not had to go to war in many years. It is gradually transitioning to a training center for Muir’s faithful.
