Population
Brindol 'proper' has a population of just over 6000 citizens of various nationalities and races. As it is the first large town that visitors to Thorast from the western countries of the Empire reach, it is a "moderately" cosmopolitan settlement. By that it is meant that the "official" races of the Empire are welcome but others will be treated with suspicion until they have proved themselves trustworthy.
Numerous farmsteads surround the town, adding nearly 1000 extra people to the town's potential population.
The town does not have any Imperial army units stationed inside its borders. The nearest army garrison is a little over 20 kilometers to the north at "Fort Unstein". Instead the town relies on its "watch guard" which consists of around 90 men - most of whom are volunteers. The town of Brindol is proud of its watch members but still doesn't really provide them with sufficient funds to do more than patrol the town.
