Pauper’s Keep
Pauper's Keep is a tall fort at the western edge of Schlecht Laden, with high walls and multiple watch towers projecting up from the ramparts. It acts as both an army barracks and a local watch station, with little to distinguish between the soldiers and watchmen other
than their uniform colours. When they must venture out, both wear substantial armour and hurry back to the fort as soon as possible.
Both the Watch and the Soldiers come under the command of Captain Holger Udern, a recent appointee to the fort. Before he arrived, complacency was rampant in Pauper’s Keep. Soldiers performed cursory patrols before coming back to a warm fire and ale. The watchmen made their way to a favourite hostelry for their shift and returned at the slightest hint of rain.
Why make life hard?
But Captain Udern is looking to make his reputation. He’s stepped up patrols and wants to make a greater show of strength to the local gangs. He’s hand-picked the toughest and bravest from his command and set them up as a band of ‘head crackers’. This lot get extra pay for going out and beating or killing members of the Fish. It’s only a matter of time before Fish war chiefs organise reprisals.
