The Fortified city of Alstaad (North Gate Garrison)

Steel Realms
The Fortified city of Alstaad, also called “Garrison City”, is the Settlement behind the The Autumn Wall at North Gate Garrison. It is one of the many North Gate Garrison Locations and Areas and holds over 150,000 inhabitants, and the reinforced main keep holds some 40,000. It is a staging point, where new soldiers arrive and are posted from. Its outer walls can technically hold about 300,000 if it has to, and has been used as a rally point when the main defenses have failed several times over the ages. Its walls all have the Anvil of Mizras treatment. When the wall is overrun, the gate will shut and the battlement will be lit with the bright Light of Virtue, administered by the Lightbringer’s clergy. This can light up the entire area around it and in it.

Like Pacification Garrisons, the administration of the civilians is given over to the authority of the local Lord – the Duke of the The Grand Duchy of Rhyl. The administrative offices are located outside the keep, behind the main walls. There is a massive processing station and small town outside the southern gate, where the new arrivals are processed.

Autumn Armories: All along The Autumn Wall, armories are proficient at making the basics of the Redbrand Armory of Redmark‘s Redbrand Doublet = though the crafting mark and specific refinements the source armory makes are not handled by the Autumn Armories.

This locale has a Chapter House of the Narcosan Order of Necromancers in Saltmarch.

It has a major installation for the Bank of the Silver Stacks. There is also an Office for Reclamation of the Wyld projects here, mostly involving the Hoarblight.

Crime: Though this place may have a couple local gangs, the predominant Rhylian Criminal Presence is The Dead Hand. They ONLY deal with smuggle luxuries and civilian goods – NEVER interfering with military process or goods.

Briarwood Presence: This location has the presence of a typical Rhylian Briarwood.

Beastwood Presence: This location has the presence of a typical Rhylian Beastwood.
