DOMINION CAMPAIGN

Drakensward is a growing military training town, a keystone in the Kingdom’s efforts to create a highly trained army to fortify and expand its influence. The settlement hums with activity as soldiers, merchants, and scholars mingle in an environment where discipline and innovation go hand in hand. The town is set against a rugged landscape, its streets flanked by barracks, training grounds, and workshops constantly alive with the clanging of hammers and the hum of voices discussing tactics and strategy.

At the center of the town is the Piazza, a grand open space where recruiters, merchants, and trainers gather. The King's Recruiters operates here, actively enlisting newly arrived able-bodied individuals and offering rewards to those who bring new recruits to the Kingdom's cause. Nearby, the training grounds are alive with the clash of swords and the crack of crossbows, overseen by grizzled rangers who train the soldiers in forest warfare and tracking.

Drakensward is also a town of innovation, where seers and transmogrifiers apply their arcane talents to bolster the army's effectiveness. The Experiment Hall hums with strange magic, where scholars and mages push the limits of known alchemical and magical techniques, producing both breakthroughs and the occasional fiery explosion.

The Silk Merchants have carved out a niche in the town, trading luxurious textiles to military officers and their families while helping fund the town’s expansion. Meanwhile, construction crews apply their trade to improve the town’s fortifications and amenities, steadily growing Drakensward’s importance in the Kingdom’s grand plans.

Drakensward is a town on the move, metaphorically and militarily. Every recruit, spell, and improvement brings the Kingdom closer to its vision of a stronger, more secure realm. It is a place where soldiers are forged, strategies are born, and progress marches ever forward. The only thorn in its side are the swamp hags of the nearby Bloodwurm Bogs. They are usually peaceful but can be stirred to great wrath by naive recruits who use them as targets of nighttime raids to show off their bravery and skills, generally to their great regret.
