Encounters in the Grand Barony of Fandelok

Steel Realms
Encounters in the grand Barony of Fandelok are varied except on its borders. Because the fiefdom separates major political, nation, and geological areas at a nexus, it is held to be a sort of “Neutral Ground”. It does not have a large standing army because its neighbors are all far too big or militant to maintain a effective force against. Locales and settlements always run their own large deputized forces. Except the Border Guards of Fandelok.

All boundaries are well marked. All roads across borders will have a trade agent office – no matter how remote.

Falcon Gate Trade Office (NE Umbak/Fandelok

This trade office is the biggest of the trade routes of trade between Umbak and Fandelok. It has a high count/full compliment of resources, without about half as many Umbkian agents on their side. The Feather’s Fall Inn and Caravanserai on the Fandelok side is a large place with even a market for selling goods. It has a bawdy house (“The Quivering Sheets”) for entertainment of multiple kinds, even small plays are held there.

The Border Guards of Fandelok

These are soldiers and trade agents that handle inspection, taxation, and routing. They are notorious for followers orders and the law like Umbakians. In fact, many who like the order of Umbak but not its rigidity find a way to leverage their soldier training into their ranks. Even the Umbakians trust them.
