Starkwall is a fortified watchtower in the north of the Kingdom of Nyrond.

Description

In 585 CY Starkwall was a fortified watchtower providing a base camp for local militia units, which patrolled the eastern banks of the Artonsamay River watching the Bandit Kingdoms. The fortifications comprised a wooden palisade wall erected around a fortified tower. The militias based here were are deeply suspicious of anyone approaching in this dangerous borderland. Morale here was poor as the militia were poorly equipped, many paid late, and food rations meager and poor quality. Skandar Gundersson was stationed there advising the militias hunting raiders from the Bandit Kingdoms where he had operated as a bandit.[1]
