Legion Camp

Located on the west bank of the Folyoba River, the Legion Camp dwarfs the town of Wasteward on the opposite bank in population, but occupies a smaller area of land. Of the 10,000 legionnaires of the XIIIth Legion, between 4000 and 5000 (4 or 5 cohorts) are in the camp at any given time, plus as many as 500 auxiliary troops. While most are housed in barracks, many live in temporary tents. Along the River Folyoba, warehouses and administrative buildings, plus a number of temples, smithies, and stores serving the needs of the soldiers are the only significant structures. Surrounding the camp is a low stone rampart with regularly-spaced watchtowers, and beyond that is a dry moat.

Many of the legionnaires never venture across the river, due to a wariness of causing troubles with the often distrustful locals. Consensus in the Legion is that the courts of the Empire are biased towards humans and will always find a goblinoid at fault in any confrontation.
