Vasterborg
Vasterborg is a heavily fortified town in the Irriseni province known as the Verge. It is located close to the border with the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, and a large part of its population consists of soldiers, ice trolls, and winter wolves.1
Economy
The town's businesses cater to the army. There are many taverns and brothels, fighting pits for the trolls, and flat hunting areas called "coursing fields" enjoyed by the winter wolves. Weapon and armor production are lucrative industries that employ a large number of artisans and wizards. Military Jadwiga across Irrisen pay excessive prices for the weapons and armor produced in Vasterborg, which in turn has greatly enriched the town's aristocracy.1

Because of Vasterborg's industry, dwarven and non Jadwiga human metalworkers and wizards adept at the creation of magic armor and weapons enjoy a higher social status and are afforded the rare privilege of sharing a table with Jadwiga at local taverns. Elite artisans in Vasterborg's military industry include Posk Railhemmer, Chelia Duvenich, and the wizard Yemoses the Osirian.1
As of 4713 AR, Countess Ekaterina was the ruler of Vasterborg and had stockpiled wealth for decades to be ready for the struggle for power after the return of Baba Yaga and the deposal of Queen Elvanna scheduled for that year.1
