Azari Training Grounds
On the northern side of the Crimson Citadel grounds, a large patch of land is dedicated to facilities tied to the Crestguard. Some of these structures are almost as old as the founding of the city with the castle and other fortifications built around them in later years. Very few outside of the guard have ever seen the training grounds in person although the clattering of amour and weaponry, among other sounds, can frequently be heard echoing throughout the inner city.
A labyrinth-like obstacle course filled with climbing walls, bridges, gaps and traps tests agility, endurance, tactics and teamwork. Target ranges for practicing ranged combat and spellcasting are scattered throughout with each area having its own unique twist or function it serves. These areas allow the Crestguard to develop expertise in a variety of combat disciplines, ensuring a well-rounded and adaptable force capable of facing any threat to the city.
While not much is known about the exact facilities and training regimens, many stories and accounts of city folk and even some guards paint a vivid enough picture of what goes on. The strength, adaptability and combat mastery shown by the Crestguard are a testament to the effective training methods they employ in the training grounds.
