Brindol

Situated on the river Brind, this walled town has previously gone by the names of Brindford and Brindton before settling on it's current name in the year 1210IE.

The name change was to celebrate the town's victory over "The Red Hand Army" which had plagued towns along the east coast of Thorast for over a year.

Brindol itself 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.

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 "Unstein". Instead the town relies on its "watch guard" which consists of around 80 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.

Brindol has recently found itself attacked by a new group that also call themselves "The Red Hand Army" but this time under the leadership of the renegade Centurion, Sinruth.
