Fort Caswell
Created by HeadsmansbasterdFort Caswell is a rugged and resilient frontier town nestled in the heart of South Central Alaska, between the mighty Susitna River and the towering Telkitna Mountains. This fortified settlement rose from the ashes of a once-quiet neighborhood, now home to a hardy population of adventurers, hunters, and tradespeople who refuse to be cowed by the harsh realities of the region's cosmic awakening. The town's strategic location on the banks of Sheep Creek has made it a hub for a diverse array of inhabitants, from dragon hunters and frost elves to dog mushers and even necromancers. Fort Caswell's economy thrives on the export of valuable goods, most notably dragon scales and salamander hearts, which have led to a significant influx of wealth. However, the unforgiving sub-zero temperatures of the icy north have driven away all but the most resilient and well-adapted individuals. On a peaceful day, the fortress town presents a serene winter scene, with its long houses and billowing chimney smoke creating an almost festive air. Behind the icy stone walls, a sleepy yet vibrant community goes about its daily business, weathering the storms and embracing the challenges that come with living on the frontier of this fantastical world.

Landmarks
The Frozen Forge
Nestled within the icy walls of Fort Caswell lies a unique structure known as the Frozen Forge. This massive, domed building is constructed entirely from thick, translucent ice, allowing the natural light of the northern sky to filter in and illuminate the interior. Inside, a network of intricate channels and pipes circulate frigid water, powering a series of massive, gear-driven hammers and anvils. Here, the town's most skilled blacksmiths and weaponsmiths ply their trade, crafting specialized equipment capable of withstanding the extreme cold. The air is filled with the rhythmic clanging of metal on metal, and the faint hiss of steam as molten steel is quenched in the icy water. Adventurers who seek the finest cold-weather gear or weapons made from exotic materials like dragon scale or salamander heart often make the pilgrimage to the Frozen Forge, where they can commission custom-made items from the master craftsmen within.
The Frozen Crypt
Beneath the icy streets of Fort Caswell lies a forgotten crypt, its entrance hidden beneath a layer of snow and ice. Adventurers who brave the freezing temperatures and uncover the crypt's entrance will find themselves in a dimly lit chamber, the air thick with the scent of ancient magic. The walls are adorned with intricate carvings and the remnants of long-forgotten rituals, hinting at the crypt's dark history. Rumors speak of a powerful necromancer who once used this place to conduct his sinister experiments, and the restless spirits that still linger within, guarding their secrets from the living.
