right on the border with Khador. Consequently, it has
become a heavily fortified military supply center for
Cygnaran forces throughout the region. In times of
peace Fellig has been somewhat of a military city, but
now it is truly the first line of defense in the war with
Khador. The presence of so much military has created
a tense society, however the residents still recognize
the importance of the army in their city. Locals have
heard tales of the razing of Riversmet and other bloody
battles and fear their turn may come soon. They are a
stalwart people who have stood against the northmen
and are no strangers to hostility, yet Fellig has never
seen so many soldiers for so long. Daily, war-ravaged
troops carry back the wounded from the frontlines
and gunfire can often be heard in the distance.
Felligmen have to wonder if a full-scale assault is in the
town’s near future.
Most of the residents are of Morridane blood, but
a fair amount of them are Thurians, Midlunders, and
even Khadorans. Many Khadoran tradesmen and a
few kayazy merchants were stranded in Fellig at the
outbreak of war and now view the city as a de facto
prison. As their situation grows more desperate day
after day, the Khadorans find themselves shunned by
their former business partners and left stranded to wait
out the war or find a means to escape across enemy
lines. Some of the more resourceful have dedicated
themselves to any opportunity to continue business
even if it means smuggling goods through Ord.
In the ancient past, Fellig was one of the major cities
of Morrdh that dominated the region. When Morddh
fell, Fellig—once much larger—shrank to little more
than a small outpost town. War has again swelled its
population, and the town has become a hive of activity
with the pounding of hammers and the sawing of
boards as walls are reinforced and new buildings are
hastily put together. Even so, Fellig looks very much
like it did before with clever wooden construction
being the architectural style of choice. Although it is an
impressive hall in the old style, even the duke’s home
is made of the same large wooden beams as the rest of
the town. Rainfall is quite significant here during most
of the year, muddying the dirt streets and contributing
to Fellig’s customary rundown appearance. Visitors
are often struck by how small and underdeveloped it
appears since it lacks many of the comforts one might
expect in a town of this size.
Noted Persons
Abbess Roshean Gilmore (female Morridane
Clr19): Roshean Gilmore is the abbess of the
renowned Monastery of Asc. Angellia located just
outside of Fellig. She is the most powerful cleric in
northern Cygnar and very respected. Abbess Gilmore
has the singular distinction of having turned down the
position of exarch five years ago. She is a well read and
erudite woman entrusted with the legendary library
started by Mother Caspis Crispus nearly three hundred
years ago that includes some of the most ancient tomes
in the entire kingdom if not all of Western Immoren.
She maintains a voluminous correspondence with
fellow clerics throughout Cygnar and beyond. Her
staff has been overburdened of late dealing with
the wounded and needs of the war effort, but she
remains stalwart and devoted to her cause. Foremost
of her concerns is protecting the irreplaceable lore
maintained at the monastery. If war were to come to
Fellig, she would gladly lay down her life to protect
those under her charge, but she would try to send the
books south to safety.
Lord General Olan Duggan, Duke of the Northwood
(male Morridane Rgr14): Olan Duggan is the military
governor of Fellig and the resolute commander of
Cygnaran forces in the entire Northforest duchy. He
is a lifelong soldier who has fought in many battles.
The lord general’s reputation precedes him wherever
he goes; after all, so far he has fought Khador to a
standstill. He is reputed to be a no-nonsense man with
a flair for the dramatic. Indeed, he prefers his military
uniform to the finery of his recently elevated noble title,
and he goes about his duties with only a small retinue
of guards. This bravado has earned him the respect
of his soldiers as well as the civilians of Fellig when he
is in town. In addition to his vigil against Khador, the
lord general has become aware that the Thornwood
is home to something wicked. This concern has
increased with reports of thralls recently spotted in
the forest. The lord general intends to investigate, but
he is preoccupied for the moment. Much of his time
is spent traveling from one military base to another,
especially the vital Northguard fortress.
