Izlen

This secondary garrison stands at the site of a broad ford across the mouth of the Dulsi. Panshazek spends some time here, but leaves rulership of the place to the mage Rangaster. Discipline here is very tough, because both Celbits and Jebli orcs form the soldiery and Rangaster needs the elite babau platoon here to keep a high profile, dissuading the tribes from violent conflict.

Izlen's major noteworthy point is that it is the base for many of Iuz's unusual troops. Bar-igura scouts are very active in the margins of the grey elf lands under the leadership of mages and priests, while a small group of alu-fiends operates almost autonomously from Izlen. They act on their own whims, reporting what they have learned to the mages if they feel like it. The alu-fiends act as spies, working in groups of two or three and using their disguise powers to appear as humans or half-elves in the human and elven Vesve lands.

In addition, Izlen has a bizarre cavalry detachment of a dozen charmed trolls riding barded leucrottas. The mage who originally thought up this idea was killed in the retreat from Chendl during the wars, and while the charm spells are rigorously maintained, no one here is quite sure what to do with these weird riders and beasts. Their role now is almost exclusively restricted to galloping along the Vesve margins in the hope of frightening any non-evil creatures who might see them. However, they form a powerful protection for a town which does not appear well-defended, having but earthwork defenses and wooden buildings. In addition, Izlen has an elite group of a dozen orog fighters who have learned the unusual skills of falconry and have 30 or so trained, fighting hawks. Add the 60 war dogs of Izlen, and the place is a hornet's nest if trouble is stirred up here.
