Three Towers

Notes/Areas of interest

Pop c.2000  Three Towers is a bustling port named for the three great towers that dominate the stone harbour.  Since the 'liberation’ a contingent of Quodethi Navy has been permanently stationed here.  The trireme Urugan, along with a naval garrison (including half a century of the elite marinus) and the docks and city walls team with activity as they are improved.  Since the bloody pirate and sea-devil raid the landward defences have also been improved.  The Landgate has it’s own garrison including a detachment of the elite Quodeth marinus.  Work gangs can be seen toiling on defensive improvements during the day.  Grisly reminders of the fate of marauders hang from the walls around the land gate.  There is a bounty on both Gnoll and Beastman heads.

Refugees - Since the new year refugees from the Amur villaes of Taarbo and Banutre have been seeking safety in Three Towers.  Reports of Beastman, Gnoll and even Giant raiders are a common occurrence  (Sana 2215).

Overcrowding - The refugees, the increased military presence and spring trade have combined to make accommodation prices sky rocket Three Towers.
