Ralsand

This town of 2,800 is a vital reserve garrison. Its blue liveried light cavalry is famed for speed and horsemanship.

The town is ruled by a distant cousin of Carwend's, and his men travel to any trouble spots, generally west, to support any troops or settlements under threat. The specialist diviner Francenn is a colorful figure in the place, said he to have a map of the western lands and Almor in his tower. The construction glows in areas where threats arise, so that he has magical warning of enemy approaches.

Francenn is a worshiper of Olidammara, a very strange choice for a mage. He is a high-living, gregarious sort. He has two dwarven bodyguards who carry him home from his evening indulgences, and anyone trying to loot the mage's home or attack him should beware: the two are actually polymorphed and charmed mountain giants and have the same strength (23) they possessed in their previous forms.
