Cairn Condor
Cairn Condor is a citadel built on the crest of a tall foothill at the base of the Forlorn Mountains. The fortress is manned by troops from the Lord-Governor’s army, and is the base for all patrols along Exeter’s 250-mile mountain frontier. Its walls are 40 feet high, and the great keep rises to a height of 80 feet. A huge farseeing lens called the “Condor’s Eye” is mounted on the keep’s roof and allows the castle’s defenders to see great distances along the mountain border and into many of the nearby mountain valleys where foes might be gathering. When weather permits, the lens is constantly manned, being rotated inch by inch to survey the landscape for enemies.
The garrison of the fortress is 400 infantry, 200 cavalry, and 25 knights, together with 3 “counselor-mages” of 6th level.
