Mornbryn's Shield

A well fortified town surrounded by stone battlements north of Yartar. This town is made up of two islands on the Surbrin River connected by drawbridges. The town is predominantly populated by humans, but also has an above average number of dwarves. Farmland surrounds the two islands. The town drew its name from a magical item of the same name.

The populace is known to have a longstanding rivalry with a band of wood elves who live in the forest to the north. The dispute has been going on for around a century with the last armed conflict occurring around 5 years ago.

More recently the populace has fled north after an attack by a cloud giant castle, followed by an incursion and occupation by a group of Frost Goblins. During the attack the town's namesake shield was stolen and the commander of the town Lady Nandar, was killed by a boulder. Bander, a former guard has now taken over as the only remaining ranking officer of the town guard.

What was left of the populace were found in a cave nearby in cages. It appear that they were initially captured by goblins, which were later killed by a group of lycanthropes.

The party freed the townsfolk, but as they were leaving were set upon by the lycanthropes. The battle was won but not before Henrik contracted lycanthropy.
