Glarondar
Glarondar isn’t a true city, although it is home to more people than all but a handful of communities in Aglarond. More than two thousand troops are stationed here at the end of the Watchwall, in a fortress of black stone built by the same galeb duhrs who fashioned the massive wall for King Brindor. Another two thousand soldiers guard the Watchwall itself, stretching another thirty miles to the north. This is the Army of the Green Drake, and it is also the largest garrison ever posted on this front—Glarondar and the Watchwall are bursting at the seams.
Glarondar Keep is made of a nearly indestructible, shiny, black stone resembling magically enhanced obsidian, giving rise to its nickname: the Night Fortress. A small town of 1,500 or so people sits in the shadow of the great keep, between the massive structure and the Yuirwood. Most of the inhabitants here are half-elves, many of whom migrated from the wood to start anew in the open air. The structures here are mostly made of weathered wood harvested from trees that have naturally fallen in the forest.
