Deltrada Garrison

Deltrada Garrison is a Canid fortress under the control of General Clovis. Because it lies nestled^[1] in the most well-traveled path to the Wastes,^[2] Deltrada is the best-defended garrison in the Wastes^[3]

and is the most likely target for an Ermehn attack.^[4]

Layout[]

Deltrada Garrison has training grounds for its warriors- including, an archery range^[5] and a training ground with Ermehn-shaped dummies for swordplay.^[6]

Deltrada also runs a forge manned by a highly-skilled blacksmith.^[7]

The garrison is equipped with an aviary^[8] for messenger birds.^[9]

In the keep, Deltrada also has torture chambers^[10] and at least three dungeon cells.^[11]

Procedure[]

Deltrada has a more erratic guard rotation on the western ridge. The north eastern corner is more exposed, but not as heavily guarded.^[12]

History[]

A few years ago, Deltrada Garrison was attacked by the Evyn-din in retaliation for the death of one of their own. The attack was unsuccessful and resulted in the destruction of the Evyn-din and severe repercussions for the other Ermehn tribes. The attack ultimately accomplished nothing beyond escalating an already tense situation.^[13]

A Sunsgrovian envoy consisting of Captain Kenosh, Captain Quinlan and a courier arrived at Deltrada^[14] aiming to get both Canid and Ermehn sides to stand down from the building tension.^[15] As of the envoy's arrival at Deltrada,^[16] Clovis had been in Deltrada since the last full moon.^[17]

The garrison was attacked by an Ermehn tribe aiming to assassinate General Clovis.^[18] They were successful^[19] The garrison has written^[20] and sent out a message about the attack.^[21]

Trivia[]

The border guard and Deltrada are inspired by the Roman occupation of Britannia and the outposts to separate “civilization” from the “barbarian”- ie, Hadrian’s Wall.^[22]
Originally, Deltrada was conceived with wooden walls. But the reader discussion influenced the writers to change it to stone.^[23]
