Fortress Pavec

Population: 5,800 + Garrison of 300 cavalry and crossbowmen

Fort Pavec was the first successful incursion of Umbak into Dunstrand across the river. It gained some notoriety a couple hundred years ago by being the scene of a bloodbath. A band of adventurers assaulted to fortress, and in her bloodlust, the High King’s ranger named “String” lost her rangerhood when she decided to stay behind after rescuing the kidnap victim and massacre Umbakians. She killed 2 dozen before running out of arrows and being dragged away be her companions. In the years following, Umbak built up the defenses and begain to use it as a raiding base. The fortress keep guards the Pavec bridge – the only place to cross over the Andrus River for scores of miles in either direction. The fortress and land is named after the Pavec family of Umbak – they were granted to leave to push across the border by the King of Umbak. Though it has taken a few hundred years to make significant inroads, Pavec still barely make a profit – the upkeep of soldiers is high and costly. A temple to Ikribu and its 3 attendant smiths are the centerpiece of trade and the heart of the militaristic expansion capabilities of the family.

Family Pavec has enlisted the Silver Talents a few times (where it could be afforded) to aid with incursions. The family itself is known to have a half dozen members or relations in the order at any given time. It is said a commander of the order is a direct relation as well.
