Rolimar

Rolimar is a heavily fortified town in western Lacrive, the seat of the House le Villiers. It boasts squat, thick walls and towers sprawling over a wide perimeter in the latest feudal technology.
In terms of its garrison, Rolimar is relatively well-defended. The barracks hold space for up to five thousand men, with additional billets available in the houses of the townsfolk. Nearly every family in Rolimar has at least one soldier in the family.
Due to the War of the South Lake, a Dalforean League force numbering more than seventy thousand is currently marching on Rolimar, and expect to encircle the settlement and lay siege in spring of 765.
The fortress is currently home to four thousand men, though the Cont le Villiers and his chevaliens are busy collecting more recruits from the surrounding countryside, and columns of reinforcements are marching from Bouchier and Clernois in preparation for the upcoming siege.
== History ==
Rolimar was founded as Roux-le-Mar, which translates as 'House on the Sea', in the 3rd Century BCE. Its name stems from Lake Vernier, a small body of water that serves as the source of the Feriche River. The original settlement was built on the edge of the lake, with a motte-and-bailey castle a kilometre inland.
Over time the castle grew in importance, with the town slowly migrating nearer to its walls. Several noble houses occupied the castle at different stages, with the village elders voting a prominent family into residence when the previous house's bloodline ran dry.
As tensions rose in the Lacrivian region, the castle was upgraded zealously as powerful factions saw Rolimar as a strategic location in the area.Category:Settlements
