Thornward is a neutral city located in the Bramblewood Gap on the border of Ket and Bissel.

Description

A great deal of mercantile traffic goes through Thornward. It is known for its trade between eastern Baklunish states and the rest of the Flanaess.

History

The history of Thornward (and Bissel) is tied up in the convergence of East and West, with nearby Baklunish nations, and with the years of wars in the region.

People

Population

Though the total population of Thornward itself in 591 CY was 6,000, its population is larger due to the military presence in camps surrounding the city of 5,000 troops.

Government

The capitol of Bissel was moved away from Thornward to Pellak as a result of the "Thornward Division" and the city's governance was divided between four adjoining nations: Ket, Bissel, Gran March, and Veluna. As a result of previous wars, the maximum number of military troops in the area was limited to 6,000.
