Peculiarities of Isolation Point

Keen observers note that there is no military or guard's bar in Isolation Point, and soldiers rarely drink to excess at Öl's Brewery. Ponlanders know that this is because King Fe Pon enacted a law in The Fourth Age limiting any soldier to one drink per day except on holidays and during official military celebration feasts. Those caught violating this law are dismissed from military service and jailed one year for each drink in excess they consumed. Those who fail to report for duty as a result of drunkenness, or whom do report for duty drunk, are executed.

Isolation Point is one of the only places on Voktegård that allows the building of basements, cellars, and the like (the only other place being the New Dwarven City). This is always supervised by the military and often involves a temporary stay of Dwarven Engineers or Arcaneers because digging through several feet of solid ice is no easy task.
