Dirch is a heavily fortified town, or rather, hamlet, because it’s no larger than a couple of houses. The place is heavily guarded because of the rich Dircinium mines, which makes it of strategic importance. He who controls Dirch, controls the continent. There’s a legion camp at Dirch as well as an old castle.

I like it. A fortified place that actually looks fortified.
Thanks. This location still needs a bit of detailing. I work in this area when I get tired of seeing snow, because most of my modding time right now is spent way up north.
Why does this remind me of Asterix – “One small village is withstanding the Romans”
The camps portrayed in Asterix were pretty accurate. The Frontier military camps are miniatures of real Roman camps too and fashioned after them. God, Asterix was great. I read them all when I was a child and Asterix and his fellows inspired some of my historical interest too.
