Ackmard's Watch

Ackmard's Watch is a relatively young city. It was founded only a few hundred years ago as a launch point of an expedition against the vampire lords of Nekrovka. Since then the city has become a gathering hub of all kinds of folks. Some come for a new life in the relatively untamed frontier while others come for greater safety from the more commonly present dangers found in other parts of the world. The city is relatively small, but has a fairly large farming community surrounding it. A small order of knights known as the Vigilants of Ackmard also maintain several small forts, intended to serve as an early warning should the undead ever march on the living, but most of their time they spend as standard guards for the city, and providing training for young adventurers.
