It serves as a hub for caravans heading towards the Northern Provinces and the Golden River Region, ensuring that heavily armored convoys can navigate the perilous routes.
Watch Point Q Virk: Positioned strategically to monitor the vast desert expanse, Watch Point Q Virk is a crucial outpost for defense against bandit incursions. Its elevated location provides a panoramic view of the surrounding wastelands.
