Jörðgarð Map of Week #185 - Military Closed Camp
The 185th Map of the Week is our last for 2014. After today, we'll be starting our annual Christmas break, returning with No. 186 on January 11. This week we take a look at a typical military closed camp in Slovania's Border March. The camps provide a guarded campground for travelers on the road from Óðinn's House to Sentinel City in areas where there are no village or hostelries with accomodations.
Key to the Closed Camp Map
1. Cleared Area
2. Moat
3. Raised Flank
4. Drawbridge
5. Gatehouse over the Drawbridge
6. Semaphore. The wooden tower is 60 feet/18 meters high. When the militiamen wish to warn surrounding areas, they light a large fire atop the tower. The fire platform is made of bronze, to prevent the tower from burning.
7. Camping Area. Non-military travelers can lay out their sleeping bags and build their campfires here. Tents are allowed only when the occupancy is low enough that there is room for them.
8. Horse Shed. Reserved for the horses of the militiamen.
9. Detachment House. Reserved for the permanent civilian caretakers and militiamen.
10. Watchtower. The wooden tower is 70 feet/21 meters high.
11. Palisade Wall. The wall is 20 feet/6 meters high.
The graphic above is reduced in size. You can get the full-sized map in two versions:
