In the foothills of the Blackcaps, along the border between Aundair and Breland, sits Cragwar. The town was taken many times during the Last War, switching hands between Aundair, Breland and Thrane every few years but finally being held by Breland at the end of the war.

In addition to the violent past, Cragwar's garrison has to remain on constant alert. Monsters are known to come down from the mountains, and to emerge from the Greenhaunt to the east. This instability has meant that Cragwar is more like a military outpost than a town.
