Fegard

Fegard is a country of steep mountains and lush meadows, industrial factories and faceted stone structures. It is populated primarily by dwarves and warforged, but people of all races live here.

The Fegardian people value hard work and clear intent. They have pride in the craftsmanship in their manufactured goods. In Fegardian armor and weapons, form follows function but this does not mean their work is unattractive. Rather, the beauty is in thoughtful decoration of well-designed work.

The Warforged
Warforged are the first manufactured race, produced either in Alraune in the southern forests or Perlenmann in the northern valley. When first created, warforged are not sapient. They are sentient, but are not considered people for their first decade of existence, during which they serve as foot soldiers in the Fegardian military. After they are discharged, they are given two years of education to acclimate them to civilian life, such as it is, and are sent into the world. As the home of some very advanced military technology like the warforged, the people of Fegard enjoy the security of a strong military force in exchange for relatively few biological members, largely enlisted as engineers and officers.

Notable Locations
Fegard's northern territory is a relatively recent expansion after the Dissolution War of 1057 and most of its cities are south of the old border of the Danube river. Since pushing the border north to the Elbe river, small Fegardian towns have begun to spring up progressively farther north through the Odrian Foothills. Former Odrian villages and towns dot the northern Fegard landscape; some now house Fegardian people, but largely they have fallen into ruin over the past seventy-odd years.

Wächterstadt
A city of stone cut into a small mountain in the southwestern mountain range. Initially established as a surface outpost of the subterranean kingdom of Untergarten, it overlooks what is now the Fegard-Dresne border.

Alraune
Fegard’s southern warforged manufacturing city. The current generation of Alraune warforged are Mobile Independent Reconnaissance and Cartography mk VI (MIRC) units. MIRC mk VI have a very lightweight chassis and are designed for moving undetected through wilderness landscapes. They are only expected to encounter small skirmishes and are more lightly armored than MICA units.

Perlenmann
The northern warforged manufacturing city of Fegard, positioned in a valley with mountains to the north and east. The manufacturing plant is currently producing Mobile Infantry Combat and Armaments mk V (MICA) units. MICA mk V are typically larger and heavier than their MIRC counterparts, designed for open, extended combat rather than woodland skirmishes.
