Avisir Post

Avisir Post is a fortified settlement founded by the Fallen Company during their service under Dalfore. It was founded on the ruins of the village of Imona. Its population currently numbers some ten thousand.
== History ==
Built in 504CE, Avisir Post originally consisted of only a simple wooden keep surrounded by a wall and ditch. Outside this wall the nobles of the Fallen Company built their own barracks using lumber from nearby woods. These numbered in the hundreds; accidents occurred, and fires were common. 
Over time, the Fallen Company gained power and influence, enabling them to enhance their settlement. In 507CE, the mayor of Helnas gifted Avisir with stone to build a thick outer wall encompassing the entire settlement, and in 509 this was complemented with a new stone keep and inner wall. The personal barracks were also being improved as their residents saw fit, and over the next decade, as more Fallen Company posts were established and troops were moved from Avisir, the barracks rooms began to conglomerate and merge. Civilians also moved to Avisir to offer their services to the rich mercenaries, establishing a sprawling encampment outside the outer wall.
== Modern Appearance ==
In the modern day of 764CE, the Fallen Company is long gone but Avisir Post remains. The squat, thick stone keep is inhabited by the Duc of Avisir, a hereditary Lacrivian title passed from the founder of the settlement, Duc Godefroy Le Maitre.
Outside the keep is a compound of lavish mansions derived from the nobles' barracks. Several nobles chose to remain in Avisir after their eviction, being protected from the Minister by their old friend the Mayor of Helnas, and these nobles are the owners of most of the mansions. The original wall separating these buildings from the keep is long gone, though its foundations have been smoothed to ground level and are used as a road nowadays.
The outer wall is still standing, though it is in bad repair after two centuries of relative peace. Holes have been knocked in it to allow thoroughfares through the central district and several of the outer roads have been paved. Houses still sprawl in every direction outside the outer wall.
