DOMINION CAMPAIGN

The town of Cressent is a bastion on the border of the Tarapan Desert, surrounded by the scars of an ongoing war between the King’s Legions and relentless Tarapan raiders. The town itself sits behind formidable walls, its gates guarded day and night. Outside, the desolate desert sands serve as a battlefield where clashes between the King’s forces and raiders have become routine, and the distant rumble of battle is an ever-present reminder of the tenuous hold the kingdom has here.

Engineers dispatched by the King are hard at work constructing a network of castles to extend the kingdom’s influence into the Tarapan lands. Each castle is linked to others by a network of secret underground tunnels, allowing for rapid deployment of troops and the evacuation of civilians in case of attack. Despite the grim reality of war, the settlement thrives economically due to a flourishing trade in spices, as many desert merchants prefer to barter rather than battle. The growing markets within the town walls are filled with rare spices, charms, and goods carried across the dunes.

Cressent is a place of resilience and ingenuity, with fountains providing an oasis-like atmosphere in its central square - a stark contrast to the harsh desert that stretches beyond its walls.
