Corton

The fortified city of Corton sits at the very heart of the Giant’s Stride, between the Kegarrin mountains to the North and the Theron Peaks to the South, at the point where the River Tarren joins the Great River Arden on its long journey to the sea.

The city forms the centre point of a line of forts known as The Sentinels, that stretch the width of the Giant’s Stride. Marking the Western border and guarding Amentir from the Wildlands beyond.

The city itself is heavily fortified, protected by the swirling waters of the rivers on two sides and surrounded by a high stone wall that has stood for hundreds of years. Crammed within the walls of the city, as the population has grown, the people have been forced to build upwards, creating a landscape of high, soaring towers where even the meanest of buildings have many stories. The narrow streets are criss crossed with catwalks and gangways and It’s said that it’s possible to get from one side of the city to the other without ever touching the ground.
