The Boardfort

Currently commanded by renown military tactician, Jaren Friloquen, the Boardfort is named after it's rickity appearance and those that man it. Once a highway toll turned small waypoint to stop raiders from the north now it's a full standing keep guarding the southern lands from much of the northern wastelands' dangers.

History
Standing at a strategic point on the northern highway that connects the Kingdoms of Sintaro and The Locke lands, the Boardfort is now a defensive waypoint meant to stall travel between the Kingdoms.

It started as a small meeting place for travel and a toll road. After violence became common between raiders from The Lockes into the peasant lands to the south it was turned into little more than a small blockade to stay the violence into the farmlands.

Nearing the turn into the 12th century AC, and under the command of Jaren Friloquen, the Boardfort became a small village known to hold racial refugees from persecution in the larger cities. It housed and trained mostly elves and held mostly a peaceful existence under Jaren's rule until recently.

1130 AC - present
Raids coming from the Northern Orc tribes quickly turned the Boardfort into a military establishment. The town was all but abandoned and the population start dwindling into mostly defenders and their families. The Fort itself is in a constant state of defense, and reinforcement of it's walls.

With ever increasing raid parties and numbers of violent tribal orcs traveling southward in search of plunder and livelihood, the Boardfort has become somewhat a safehave and a last defense from the peasant lands directly south of it. Jaren Friloquen and his army of mostly Elves defend the countryside and the fort itself. Holding nearly 50 warriors, 15 rangers to scour the countryside, and their respective families forcing roughly 100 people into the keep itself.

Known Political Affiliations
In the past the Boardfort was a common affiliate to the nation of Sintaro to protect its peasant lands from raids coming from The Locke nation to the north of the Burnt Mountains. Since the Coup of Sintaro the Boardfort has become Autonomous like much of the lands within a weeks travel of Doras. It holds more affiliation towards racial differences now than it does towards political relations. It remains a common refuge for mostly elves and the lesser races. They are not known to be violent towards any races other than those of Orcs and some bad blood into Half-Orcs depending on the situation.

Though the Boardfort's recognized leader, Jaren Friloquen, hails from loyal Portraya family of Sintaro background, he no longer associates himself as such other than to direct descendents of the crown itself. It is not known of his opinions regarding much political turmoil in the eastern region.
