The lands of the Cities by the Sea are ringed by a series of border forts, small towns which have grown up on the frontier. Once fortresses maintained by the Taer’sulei to keep out the beasts of the wilds and the forces of Scything Crag, they’ve slowly gained independence as the rangers’ power waned.

Vorasund Keep
The three lords of Vorasund Keep, tasked with managing the deep silver mines of the Grimweald, owe fealty to the Senate of Tachros.

Se’Dath
Ruled by the Elven Crone for two centuries, Se’Dath is surrounded by lush fields. There is continual pressure from the Farmer’s League to form an alliance, but the Crone’s rule is unyielding.

Asaro Citadel
The Citadel remains the command centre of the Taer’sulei, a fortress on the border of the Gwaylar Fens.

Angwarom Freehold
The loggers of Angwarom are may be fierce individualists, but they know what side their bread is buttered on, and where the flour to bake it comes from.

Athtia
The town of Athtia bears little resemblance to the original fort, its lord preferring to work with the Primate to see to the spiritual needs of its people.

Logis
Seated between Satu Mare and the 5 Lakes Tribes, this fort is a hub of trade, warriors, priests, and traders seated on a reasonably democratic council.

Radcerinaburis
Closest to the Samarese City-States, this fort is more of a middling-sized trading town.
