The Breakers/Ghulford

The Breakers is the name given to a permanent garrison camp of the Kazgund east of the Opicm. The soldiery here patrols the north-western margins of the Fellreev, spies on the south-eastern margins of the Northern Barrens, and overlooks the trail headed west to the small border town of Ghulford. Wood, slaves, humanoids, and Fellreev booty are brought to The Breakers and then sent on to the western garrison where the Opicm can be forded. After that, it travels either downriver to Dorakaa or by land into the central plains. Soldiers headed east, notably Jebli forest troops headed for the Fellreev, pass through here also.

The Breakers are so called because of the earthwork defenses the enthusiastic orcs have piled up around their camp. Bizarrely, even though the camp has only wooden buildings and a stockade wall, it is ringed with siege engines such as great towers, trebuchet, and catapults. The Kazgund are practicing their engineering skills in building these, although quite a few of them get killed when the badly-built devices collapse from time to time. The camp's appointed leader, the mage Schaluennforn, is an inept administrator, unable to force the Kazgund to stop wasting their time. Since making these machines seems to keep them happy, he leaves them to their own devices, so to speak. Schaluennforn himself is obsessed with the rumored magical secrets of Lake Aqal in the Fellreev, and no few of this garrison have perished exploring the forest.
