Fort Ironjoy

Demographics

While the original construction of the fort does not appear to be a human design, the recent occupants have been humans from the Stormbreak Islands and Kaldari.
The fortification and the ruin's strategic location in the Northlands make Ironjoy the preferred location for military operations in the area. Both the Stormlord and Kaldari military have squabbled over the ruin over the centuries, but the Valbrand's of the Stormbreak Islands have maintained control to use the fortification as their main redoubt while raiding, hunting, and gathering along the Northland shores.

Government

Governed by military operations, the base and its soldiers have no confusion over who is in charge. Strict rank and discipline keep the men and women in line, with the highest-ranking officer or nobleman in residence being the sole greatest authority.

Defences

The central keep has been reinforced by Stormislander raiders over the years but despite their best efforts the lack of engineers and resources have resulted in the continued determination of the walls and defences of the fort over the years.

Districts

The fortification has been in a steady state of decline, as the enchantments that preserved the ruin against the heavy Northland elements dissipate more and more with each passing year. There have been an unknown amount of cultures that have since come to reinforce and add to the ruins, with clear Kaldari, Stormlord, and even Rodnoy influences. 
Beneath all this, however, lies a sprawling underground that is in worse repair than even the crumbling battlements. Filled with collapsed hallways and sinking floors, the catacombs are poorly explored due to the inherent risk of excavation and are typically regulated as additional or secretive storage for whomever occupied Fort Ironjoy at any given time.
