The castle isn’t used much, a token force is usually here. Mostly to keep squatters from moving in.

The military are armed and trained, and they do patrol the town.

Bad times are still remembered. It is just that Meldale isn’t very prepared for troubles.

The forces vary from year to year. Sometimes month to month.

Leutenant, 5th level fighter 25 soldiers. 2 serjeants of fighter 3rd level 15 long bowmen and 10 infantry

the other group that has been stationed here is:

Serjeant 4th level fighter 15 soldiers; 10 long bowmen and 5 infantry. this group has better training and is usually more alert and does a better job.

There are between 10 and 25 servants who cook and clean.

Dank Forest Links

Dark Blue for the ocean that sustains them, the black wandering line of the first battle groups that went inland after the Green Cloud saved them to look for Evil and remove it from Dank Forest. The semi-circles of planned searches for Evil finished the cleaning of the land. The Eye to show they are on watch for Evil.

Note the Tooshla Henge north east of Brillar. The capital city of Gashtra, and evil nation, is named Tooshla.

This nation is a total monarchy allied to Trillolara. Trillolara is Southeast of here. This land is covered by an almost continuous fog or rain due to a warm northerly and cold southerly sea currents meeting just off-shore. The king charges exorbitant taxes on any treasures found. The Capitol is Brillar. (Alignments: CG, CN)

New map: Jan 30, 2015.

Mad Krongo’s Keep is the location of one adventure by a store game group. Its located in the central pass through the hills. Meldale and Bigdale are nearby villages. I cannot find the maps and info. I’ll have to rewrite them based on my notes.

Hinge Road goes inland, past Mad Krongo’s Keep, ruins, and on into the interior.

The Coast Road goes for miles, into loneliness. There are a few towns near Brillar, but not much beyond along the coast road. There are a few castles and keeps further up the coast here, but even fewer travelers.

Why does Brillar exist then ?

The Plains of Dareth are controlled by Evil, so any imports must come by sea.
