Rein Territory

The territory of Rein, home of the Royal Army First Regiment of the Elwynn Brigade, is a pleasant and lush semi-forested region graced by mild weather. Much of the region has been designated a military exclusion zone due to the nearby garrison, patrolled almost exclusively by Royal Army footmen. 
Westbrook Garrison is one of the oldest and largest army bases in the Kingdom. As a major Royal Army headquarters, Westbrook Garrison actually plays host to far greater operations than just that of the First Regiment. Multiple non-provincial units temporarily or permanently call Westbrook ‘home’, and its facilities are funded by outside gold reserves deeper than the richest mine in Westridge. It is the garrison’s significant importance to the military might of Stormwind that leaves the Montclairs with limited authority here. 
The garrison itself is a massive building of sheer reinforced stone walls and broad towers. With multiple stories, the garrison can play host to scores of troops, officers, and enough supplies to last nearly six months under siege. Considering its purpose, the Garrison’s primary purpose is to supply troops with equipment. As such she maintains stores of armor, weapons, food, ammunition, and other supplies under lock and key. The structure includes a smithy, medical bay, stockade, and a chapel for prayer. 
Surrounding the garrison are the many training fields one might expect to find. Sparring pits allow soldiers to fight one-on-one, while larger battle courses pit teams or formations against each other. Obstacle courses train agility, marching trails winding through Rein build stamina, and target fields provide plenty of ‘enemies’ for gunners and archers to hone their skill. There is even a list for the Cavaliers to practice their charge, though 
The town of Rien is the major population center, located just outside the military exclusion zone of Westbrook Garrison. Populated by a bustling service industry dedicated to support of the nearby garrison, Rien is one of the best places for people looking to make a fresh entry into Westridge without the more strict feudal customs of other regions. Blacksmiths and tailors supply a constant flow of replacement parts and tabards for uniforms. Grocery merchants even provide a secondary flow of higher quality foodstuffs that supplement Army rations. The list field of Rien is also the entry-level jousting location for those wishing to compete in higher level tournaments across Westridge.
The rest of the territory is mostly dedicated to providing and maintaining training locations used the Garrison. Sparring rings of various sizes and construction, from fenced-in combat rings to simple dirt clearings provide locations for soldiers to test their strength against each other. Racks of training dummies for melee and targets at firing ranges provide solo practice. Marching trails cut through Rien, passing by obstacle courses and supply drops crawling with porters, and nearly everywhere are seen the familiar Stormwind Footman in constant training and upkeep.Category:Lore
