Adamant is a large town on the southern border of the Gaeno Woods in the Dreibach Empire. It is the capital of the Southern Duchy of the Dreibach Empire. Its major landmarks include Castle Adamant and the Wizard's Tower.

Demographics

A significant majority of Adamant's population—over 70%—is Human. The rest of the residents have Halfling or Half-Elf ancestry. Other races are vanishingly rare or non-existent.

Defences

Adamant has historically been a fairly open city, and traditionally saw little need for significant defenses and barricades. A series of walls were built around the town shortly after its founding in the late Age of Integrity, but homes and farmlands soon sprawled well beyond those borders. However, after a mysterious warning from the criminal Gepopo after her Y1094 execution (see "Champagne Killer" Guillotined After Shocking Confession - Adamant Herald), Duke Gilbert Hildebrand decided to re-fortify the city just in case. He doubled the city's guard, re-fortified the extant walls, and built a new network of walls around the outer bounds of the town. Because of this, Adamant remained relatively peaceful both during the Dread Battalion's Y1094 reign of terror and the Glorious Revolution of Y1105.
