DOMINION CAMPAIGN

Perched atop the treacherous Hamgiant Pass, Hamgiant's Rest is a walled mountain town that serves as both a sanctuary and a critical trade hub between the Realm and the arid Fenn Desert dwellers. The settlement is governed by the prudent and respected Lord Jellicus, whose steady leadership has earned the trust of both locals and merchants. Despite his warnings, new settlers have begun to build homes outside the walls, enticed by the allure of the wilds and the promise of untamed land.

The town is a haven for weary travelers and merchants. Desert-dwelling camel trains regularly climb the perilous, rockslide-prone eastern pass to trade exotic goods with the townsfolk. Icedrake Lake, glistening at the town’s edge, is a vital resource. Its fat, plentiful fish sustain the town through harsh winters, and the fishermen, ever reverent, offer sacrifices to Ayndra, the Goddess of Waters, to ensure the lake's bounty endures.

The surrounding forests teem with game, attracting hunters eager to test their skills against nature’s challenges. Yet, the wilderness is also fraught with danger, and the town's walls stand as a bulwark against both the cold and the unknown lurking in the woods.

A monumental Triumphal Arch dominates the central square, commemorating the town’s hard-fought victory against the mountain trolls that once terrorized the pass. Though the trolls are long gone, their legacy lingers in the stories told around hearths on cold winter nights. Hamgiant’s Rest thrives on its balance of danger and safety, a crossroads where cultures, creatures, and climates converge.
