The Eastern Border Fortress [POST HERE FIRST]

Perched on the eastern edge of the island, near the capital of Esdar'ai, this border fortress is surrounded by lush forest and a number of rivers, and is the most sought-after post among the military when their rotation on the border comes around. It is a prominent structure atop rocky terrain that allows those within to see a good distance in every direction, the fortress is well equipped with mages who can detect invaders. As an additional protective measure, the walls and stone surrounding it are heavily imbued with warding and structural magics to protect the building and the land upon which it rests. All border fortresses are manned by minimum fifty eagle riders and about a hundred regular infantry, and the eagle riders do constant overlapping patrols between fortresses to ensure the security of the nation’s borders.

(All individuals seeking entry to Esdara via the eastern edge of the island will need to stop at the fortress before being permitted entry into the nation proper. Those who try to bypass the fortress or the patrols will be met with force.)
