Bold Creek Fort

Summary

Bold Creek Fort is a fortress constructed on filled farmlands that stretched out between the town and the mountain range. Built from bricks, earth and wood, it is somewhat old-fashioned, but this was more than enough to stop the attacks of the Northern army weakened by the War and stretched thin by having to send some forces to defend the capital.

The simple construction allowed completion in an astonishingly short time (with the help of Incarnates) . By the time the Northern army had crossed the Great Mountain range and caught wind of the construction, the fort was already nearly finished, and succeeded in delaying their first strike.

It was even equipped with gun platforms on the walls (though not many), and with battle-hardened former Southern soldiers at the core of its forces, morale was high, enhancing the defensive capabilities of the fort beyond its scale. In front of the fortress is an earthwork fortification that overlooks the mountain range, allowing for soldiers to prevent simple approaches by the enemy. It is unclear if the absence of trenches is due to a tactical choice not to impede the mobility of Centaurus, or because they lacked the technique to dig them.
