Pendraic

The village thrives on the upkeep and operations of the nearby military castle, with many villagers serving as the castle’s staff or providing goods and services for the soldiers stationed there. Pendraic is a strategic location, important for defense and as a stopover for travelers and traders. Pendraic, built around its military castle, is a stronghold of defense and discipline, playing a key role in the safety of the region. With Commander Aelia Vorn in charge, the village remains well-defended, self-sufficient, and ever-prepared for any challenges. The Pendraic Keep and its surrounding structures give the village a militaristic atmosphere, but the market square, inn, and the presence of civilians show that it is more than just a fortress—it is a community with a deep sense of duty and loyalty.

Points of interest

Pendraic Keep

The imposing military castle that serves as the heart of the village. The keep has thick stone walls, high towers, and battlements that offer a commanding view of the surrounding land. It is both a fortification and the seat of local military command. The keep has seen many battles over the years, and the scars of war are evident in its walls. The commander’s quarters and the war room are located here, and it also houses a small barracks for the soldiers stationed in the village.

The Armory

A heavily fortified building near the castle where weapons, armor, and supplies are stored. The armory is closely guarded and maintained by a small team of blacksmiths and armorsmiths. It is also where the soldiers of Pendraic train and practice their combat skills. During times of peace, the armory also acts as a training ground for young recruits.

The Watch Tower

A tall structure located at the edge of the village, providing a high vantage point for spotting any potential threats from the surrounding area. The watch tower is manned day and night by soldiers who keep a vigilant eye on the roads and the lands beyond the village. It is often the first line of defense against any attackers and provides an important lookout for travelers.

The Market Square

While much of the village’s economy revolves around the military, Pendraic’s market square is a lively area where villagers gather to sell goods. Merchants, soldiers, and traders from nearby regions meet here to exchange food, supplies, and stories. A variety of stalls can be found, selling weapons, armor, provisions, and basic comforts for the soldiers and villagers alike.

The Iron Shield

A sturdy and well-kept tavern built from stone and timber, offering a hearty meal and a warm fire to those who need it. The inn is frequented by soldiers, travelers, and traders passing through, as well as the occasional adventurer looking for work. The innkeeper, Geralt Stonearm, is a burly man with a stern demeanor but a heart of gold. The tavern serves thick stews, roast meats, and strong ale, with a menu that caters to the appetites of the military and those who work the land.
