| + | **Tour de la Torche** is a small Brelon fort near the Dagger Wood in western [[Brelande]]. It provides lighthouse services for ships navigting [[the Hilt]]. While geographically close to [[Sharn]], duty at the fort is ill-considered and those stationed there often must endure their stay like a sentence, spending their days in boredom, despite the occasional dangelr of brigands or trouble from the nearby jungle in the form of wild animals or monsters. | ||

| + | Little more than a heavy stockade around a collection of homes, barracks, and a single fortified tower, | ||
| + | Tour de la Torche began as a simple lighthouse to aid sailors | ||
| + | in navigating the Hilt. The isolated location required | ||
| + | the addition of homes and some services to maintain | ||
| + | the lighthouse. Attacks by wild creatures forced the | ||
| + | construction of more elaborate defenses and the addition of a garrison. The garrison’s small magical arsenal prompted raids by brigands, forcing the keep to | ||
| + | enlarge yet again until the site has become something | ||
| + | between a lighthouse and a true fortress. Assignment | ||
| + | to the keep is viewed as a six-month sentence by most | ||
| + | posted there. The location is not far from Sharn, but | ||
| + | leaves to visit the city are granted only rarely. The keep | ||
| + | is reputedly haunted, and the glare from the powerful beacon atop the keep’s only tower ensures that no | ||
| + | night’s sleep is entirely restful. | ||
| + | The proximity of the Tilorn Jungle provides | ||
| + | dangelr and sometimes welcome relief from boredom, with garrison members occasionally mounting expeditions to capture rare and valuable birds | ||
| + | to supplement their military pay. Officially, visitors are unwelcome, but in practice a few small bribes | ||
| + | can quickly convert the keep into an excellent base | ||
| + | camp for expeditions into the jungles of the Tilorn | ||
| + | Reach from its eastern edge. | ||
