Bestien's Towers

Bestien’s Towers is a twin towered castle on the sourthern edge of the Nutherwood. It houses 150 heavy infantry and 300 light infantry as well as some of the 800 militia who patrol the Nyrond-Pale border, and the 1600 militia who patrol the Artonsamay River. The Nutherwood is technically part of the Pale, but the Pale’s soldiers allow Nyrond troops to hunt bandits within the wood. This castle is a base for the 800 militia who, at any one time, patrol the eastern border with the Pale. The troops of both nations have little love for each other, and exchanges between patrols tend to be short and to the point.
The Bandit Kingdoms, particularly Stoink, are much the more bothersome threat. The city state has been raiding Nyrond, among others, for a long time, and the arrival of Iuz has changed little. So the river is heavily watched to keep the damage to a minimum, and to watch for any greater danger such as Iuz getting active again. While these attacks do no appear to be an organized source of aggression, they still cause important loss of life and have driven farmers away from the fertile Artonsomay basin.
