Southwatch County

Location: The rocky Southern Tip of the peninsula, jutting out into the ocean. Ruler: Count General Magnus Ward (Human, Abjuration Wizard).

Origin (Y105): With the port to the West and the mountains to the East secure, Arwon realized the Southern approach was vulnerable. The "Scatter Islands" (hiding Dayereth's prison) and the vast ocean lay open. He needed a watchdog.

He established Southwatch not as a city, but as a military exclusion zone.

Description: This county is stark and windswept. There are no farms or villas here.

• The Feature: The coastline is dominated by the "Silent Tower" (or the "Eye of Arcus"). This is a massive lighthouse that projects no visible light. Instead, it projects a constant Detect Magic field 50 miles out to sea.

• The Mission: Count General Ward and his "Watch-Mages" scan the horizon 24/7. They are looking for Oricon stealth-ships, magical anomalies from the Scatter Islands, or unauthorized planar breaches.

• The Defense: The coast is lined with Arcane Ballistae—siege weapons enchanted to fire bolts of force energy that can puncture the hull of a ship miles away.
