The Righteous Den
Where do you go when you realize you've become the thing that you were trained to kill?
Deep in the heart of the Cyrios Mountains, a small settlement is taking root. Set a bit back from a subalpine lake, two lines of military tents stand at attention. Two women, a dwarf and a human, are working at a rough table near the campfire; preparing food for the next meal. A group of men are working to lay the foundations of a longhouse. A middle aged dwarf with black hair is followed by two younger dwarves as he directs to laying of the stones. The clearing by the lake has been expanded. Some of the nearby trees have been harvested, and another group of people are trimming the branches, removing the bark and so forth.
A trio of very tall pines have been left standing. Their trunks are sheathed in metal from the ground to about 8 feet up. High in the branches, platforms sway in the steady breeze coming down from the glaciers.
A bit further from the lake, (uphill) a timber frame marks the entrance to the beginnings of a mine, or at least the dream of a mine. At the moment, the only thing it yields is stone for the longhouse.

Government
The encampment is run in a manner similar to the Righteous Brand traditions. The sargent sets the chores rota, everyone contributes to the feeding and care of the camp.
Infrastructure
So far, the encampment is a simple collection of military tents and a few simple lean-tos. The stone foundation for a longhouse is almost complete. Three nearby trees have platforms built high in the branches. The platforms are roughly 15 ft x 15 ft, and can be reached by rope ladders.
