| Fort Dranlon |
Avernum is effectively at war with the Sliths to the west and with the Nephilim to the east. There are Arenea to the north and other monsters all around. That Fort Dranlon is right on the front line, is obvious as soon as you enter the town: there are magical barriers blocking gaps in the walls and guards are on the look out everywhere. There is an infirmary, a large barracks and a fort mage but only one shop which sells a colourful mixture of goods.

It is always a good idea to talk to everybody. The following notes give hints on hidden rooms, traps and puzzles. There are some corpses and lots of Crude Javalins lying around outside the walls. Some of the bodies still have a few useful items on them.
There is neither a Job Board nor any secret door, ladder, pylon or the like in this town.
