High Fort

High Fort is a military base that functions independently of any kingdom. Since its inception in the early days of Velia, it has served as the front line between the kingdom of Scarg and the now former kingdom of Velia. While Velia as a united kingdom does not exist, High Fort still continues it's guard over the Valley of Tribulations.

Geography
Located between two grand mountain ranges and at the base of hill lands, High Fort is an elevated city that bolsters wonderful views out at the surrounding environment. The fact that it is planted between two mountain ranges, leads to the entire valley where High Fort is, to be considerably windy most times during the year. There is little farmland surrounding High Fort and a lot of their food comes from imports, which have considerably lowered in quantities since the start of the war, and the livestock that can survive in harsher climates. The land around High Fort inclines towards the city itself, leading it to be built on a precipice.

Structure
This city/military base has two main functions, self-sustainability, and defense. The former it achieves through civilian output of trading and raising livestock, while the defense is kept by military stationed there. The military itself is ran by High Commander Lazarus Tovar, with several lieutenants serving underneath him. The military has a hold located in the center of the city known as the Stalwart Sanctum.

Despite being a larger city, the walls contain only one gate, which is on the eastern end, and nothing is permitted to be built beyond the western half of the city outside the walls. This way the city is able to maintain a clear line of sight of any impending force coming from the west and not have any chance to destroy friendly buildings in the crossfire of an engagement.
