Heerlen

Location

Heerlen is a town located on Aanvang Island - one of the three islands that make up the kingdom of Thorast.

Population

As of the year 343IC, Heerlen has a population slightly exceeding 1200 people. The predominant race in Heerlen is Human although nearly 10% are Dwarves. A handful of Elves and Gnomes also make this town home.

Description

The outside of the town is notable in that it is the only one on the island to be fortified. Given it's central position on the island it makes sense for this to be a designated "safe haven" for the surrounding townsfolk to head to in the event of any trouble. The town is protected by it's own militia. The town is the permanent home to 4th century of the 56th Imperial Legion and so boasts nearly a standing force of nearly 100 soldiers.
