Camp Dawn
Camp Dawn is the local stronghold for the knights of the Brazen Legion. Built just outside of the Haze, this square shaped encampment tops a low rise and is surrounded by a sturdy wooden palisade with moat. Watchtowers give the Legion a commanding view of the area, ensuring no monsters or other force can sneak up on the camp. Within, the camp is abuzz with activity as the soldiers and their supporting staff go about their business. Set some distance away from the camp stands a supply shed which is constantly under heavy guard. The wall has four gates at each of the cardinal directions and flanked by pairs of watchtowers.
As a military camp, the interior layout is orderly, with rows of tents for the soldiers and logistical staff. At the center is a bonfire, kept continuously alight through divine magic. It is here that the legion members are led in worship of the Sacred Flame by the Flamekeepers. Starting at the north gate and going clockwise around the camp are the stables, Flamekeeper tents, forge, command tent, knight's tents, griffon rookery, supply tents, and infirmary.
Much of the Brazen Legion's forces are located here, but at any given time multiple teams are out on various missions, patrolling, scouting, retrieving holy relics from the ruins, or striking out at monstrous foes within the Haze.

Geography

Natural Resources
There is plenty of wood from the nearby forest, but all food, water, and most other supplies have to be brought in overland from nearby cities.
