Balgard is a town in Sturgia owned by Grand Prince Raganvad of clan Gundaroving. The villages of Marabrot and Safna (which produces iron for the smithy there) are bound to the town.
Description[]
Balgard, which sits on the icy waters of Mazopor Bay, was founded by migrants from the Nordlands. Legend holds that the initial wave of Nords arrogantly demanded tribute from the nearby Vakken and Sturgian tribes, who formed an alliance and drove the newcomers back to their ships. But the victors fell out over the spoils, until a canny Nord, Gundar, landed and volunteered to help them fairly divvy up the weapons and armor of his dead kinsmen. The residents recognized Gundar's lordship over the region and his descendants, intermarried with the Sturgians, are today the grand princes of Sturgia.[1]
Workshops[]
Balgard is home to a silver smith, a smithy, and a brewery. Despite the temptation of the money pot that could be a silver smith, the workshop normally does not get enough silver to meet demand, resulting in small profits of around 70 denars.
Trivia[]
- According to the settlements.xml game file, Balgrad is also named "Raganvad", which means "White Fortress".
- During autumn and winter, the town's countryside is blanketed in snow.
