	As the capital of the Marches, Wasteward has attracted many merchants and craftsmen to set up permanent residence. These include an apothecary, armourers, butchers, chandlers, charcoalers, cobblers, furriers, glassworkers, jewelers, litigants, locksmiths, masons, metalsmiths, millers/Bakers, ostlers, outfitters, physicians, potters, roofers, ropemakers, sages, salters, scribes, a shipwright, tailors, tanners, teamsters, timberwrights, tinkers, weaponcrafters, weavers, woodcrafters, and yeomen. Most establishments are located in the areas immediately surrounding the Emperor's Square, or on the streets leading to the eastern, western, and southern gates of the town.

	As in most major trade centres, the dwarven clans maintain a guildhall for the use of their traveling merchants. A small number dwarven merchants also reside permanently in Wasteward, usually to engage in the buying of local artifacts and magical items, and the selling of luxury items imported from faraway lands. The prices they charge for their goods tend to reflect their rare nature. And while they are usually happy to purchase rare items, it takes a wily haggler to obtain a good sale price.

	This recently-built temple is located prominently on the Emperor's Square. Never officially sanctioned by the Emperor or House Telkar, the Cult of the Emperor has risen in prominence during the past half-century. While scorned by the priests of many of the temples to the ancient gods, who disavow the godhood of the Emperor, the cult is very popular with the human peasantry, warmages, weapon masters, and (it is rumoured) shadow walkers. Naturally, the priests of the temple are fanatical in their support for the actions of the Empire and equally fanatical in their hatred of all that oppose it. But if the Emperor is not divine, who grants the clerics of the Emperor their powers? Clerical domains include Law, War, Domination. Favoured weapon is the short sword.

			== Hiddal Bridge ==

			This bridge spans the Folyoba River, from Wasteward to the Legion Camp. There is no other bridge across the Folyoba north of Wasteward (though there is a small one across the Haledek, far to the west), and the next bridge to the southeast is at least three days' travel. Some of the finest masons in the Empire were brought to Wasteward to build the bridge, which stands tall enough to let laden boats and barges pass easily beneath its span. Wasteward may have been established as a military outpost, but due to the bridge it became a major centre of trade. Merchants from throughout the northwestern lands of the Empire, and beyond, travel through Wasteward, bringing their wares and wealth.

When the regional centre of power shifted to Wasteward, the Lazadoneks were quick to establish themselves in the town, quickly gaining an interest in many of the local commercial enterprises. Today, House Lazadonek remains the most powerful in the region, their power checked only by the authority of the Governor.

			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.
