Defender's Reach

Defender's Reach is a relatively disorganised city far in the Northern reaches of Celdon. It has walls, but they are constructed of wooden palisades and large slabs of rock, unlike the walls of greater cities further in the South. Its inhabitants were originally those who had dedicated their lives to protecting the Rested Coast from the barbarian hordes far in the North, particularly in the Forsted Plains.

However, in the years since the city's founding in 382LZ, in the wake of the eradication of the Orcs, the city has fallen prey to so many assaults by barbarian and savage forces that it has adapted to combat them by emulating them.

Though the city and its population are supposedly dedicated to Iomedae, godlessness is rife, and even worse, worship of Evil deities such as Rovagug has been observed within its walls. Despite this, they still haven't turned to the South in aggression, yet.

Sovereignty
The city has managed to retain some level of civilisation in that it still has leadership, though he is little more than the man with the biggest stick.

Laws
Laws are a flattering word for the sort of order that exists in Defender's Reach. In most cases, if a man's honour is insulted in any way, it is his right to retaliate with violence. Though this right and any others are not protected by any institutions of any kind, they are all understood and abided by, in the most part, for the mutual benefit of each individual.
