Chapter 3.1: The Fortress City of Krassel
Krassel, the Fortress City.
A settlement located smack-dab between Orcish and Human territory, Krassel was the at the forefront of the conflict between the two races.
Most of the architecture was basic and frugal, yet sturdy. The buildings were mainly constructed out of stone.
Plumes of black smoke rose into their air, coming out of the towns many smithies.
There weren’t as many soldiers stationed here ever since the war ended, but even so, burly, rugged warriors outnumbered merchants and civilians.
The town was built on top of a small hill – an easily defendable position, and protected by a pair of concentric walls.
Within the walls were countless cannons, catapults and other artillery, and the tall watchtowers offered a birds-eye view of the neighboring forest – previously under Orcish control.
Krassel was a true defensive bastion, worthy of its name.
Orcs and Humans had repeatedly clashed over control of the Fortress City during the war.
