Elmfast

Elmfast is the seat of the county of Blagenz in the Empire of Trynser. The city was conquered by Gormann's Horde and served as a headquarters for Gormann the Reaver's Bortan barbarians and humanoids. Upon his defeat, Gormann's Horde largely evaporated, so the Imperial troops were able to retake the town without much commotion. Therefore, many of the buildings were spared destruction. Still, the local population suffered greatly during the occupation and many died. At campaign time, many of the local girls and women are pregnant with children concieved of rape. The count's manor and Narlack Castle are both in ruins.
Before the invasion, 2,100 people lived in the town. Today, there are nearly three thousand, but only about seven hundred remain from before, many having fled before the war. The rest are refugees from more ruined settlements.
Samrack Nefulin, a courtier from Trynser City, has been assigned the responsibility of bringing the town back together. He rarely visits personally, but he has sent workers and materials and has hired some good people. Most of the ruins within the village have been torn down and construction on new buildings is proceeding at a rapid pace.
The surrounding area is farmland, though there hasn't been any growing season yet. Nearly all food is purchased from abroad.
*Narlack Castle - An old castle from early in the Second Empire, old fashioned when Gormann attacked it. Yet it was the point of defense for the count and his soldiers, and the Imperial troops sent to assist. The seige only lasted two weeks until it was assaulted. In a bloody battle, hundreds of attackers and the entire group of defenders died. The castle walls were holed in the Trynsern Civil War, they were patched up inadequately during this battle, but easily penetrated. Now the castle serves as a quarry for rebuilding the town.
*Narlack Manor - Home of the ruling count. This was a fancy manor house that was occupied by Gormann and was his headquarters for most of a year. However, at some point during the occupation, it caught fire and burned down. It is a charred ruin now, a total loss.
*Construction Camp - Temporary lodgings for the builders, stacks of salvaged bricks and stones, a crude lumber mill.
*Gipiton Coach House - Newly reconstructed. Serving as a base for crews repairing the road to Coublint.
*Mound - Burial place of the bones of about a thousand casaulties of the conquest and occupation, both sides. Humanoids included. Near the castle.
*Steaming Flow Tavern - Roadside tavern, became Gormann's headquarters after the manor burned down. Fifteen rooms. Propietier survived the whole ordeal.
*Bortan camp - Some temporary wooden buildings and tents remain, though many have tumbled down. Now lived in by refugees.
*Humanoid camp - Now torn down, few fire pits remain.
*Felimir Family Hot Springs - A popular series of hot springs. Known for the "Gnome Boiler". Currently occupied by a savvy squatter.
