Fort Karll is a fort in the Duchy of Urnst that houses soldiers to help protect the trade route from bandits.[1]
Description
Fort Karll is a simple structure, built against a large rock outcropping with a palisade of tall logs around three sides. The fort consists of barracks that houses 30-40 ducal guards, stables, a smith, and a stockade built into the outcropping.[2]
Geography
Fort Karll is located on a trade route from Goldplain to Kokenfeld in Koken County about a days ride to Copper Pot.[1]
History
In 593 CY, an epidemic caused by ivory toadstool ravaged the fort, causing all its members to become mentally deranged; exhibiting impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior, and ultimately killing each other and anyone nearby.[1] Though this was a fungal condition, essentially an inhaled poison, it was referred to as a "plague" because the spores were highly transmitable and infectious. There were a few survivors, but the population of the fort was nearly eradicated.
Economy
Uses the duchy's standard coinage consisting of the platinum sterling duke (pp), gold duke (gp), electrum bright (ep), silver shield (sp), and copper common (cp).[3]
