Rimeridge

A small city at the threshold between the Phendrana Fields and the Bernan Hills, it is the major stopping point for traders and travelers alike, especially those who will attempt traveling further north.

Locations:
The Last Bastion: A pub named after the local Bernan militia encampment known as The Last Bastion. The militia held fast against the Orcans during the Orcan Invasion, and the Formikian Empire before that. Several of the combatants went on to become accomplished spellcasters and politicians. The owner, Mengsk Fritz, is known for being openly hostile against non-humans, but his behavior is tolerated to a moderate degree by the locals, but it has given him trouble.

It is a respectable establishment, with nice food and drink.

Hägenlied: A Druidic college that specializes in Yang magic, several flag officers from Schloss Fort, most notably Commander Desler, are known to make common trips to inspire students in the arts. By decree, tuition is free for Bernans, but non-Bernans, especially Confederate military, are welcomed openly. The headmaster is a Druid named Cannas, an erudite scholar.

Snowball's Chance: A part-alchemy lab, part-arena, headed by an old Druid named Niime. The story goes that the area around the laboratory used to be both a research facility for many magical experiments as well as their staging ground. This eventually became a sort of sport--to develop and refine combat spells by way of sparring, especially during the Orcan Invasion. This necessitated a great stock of healing resources, and hence the alchemy lab was developed shortly after by Niime's son, Cannas.
