Cregnac Keep is huge, but it gives over much of its volume to defenses. Even were the walls torn asunder and the city burned, the keep could long stand against a superior foe, positioned as it is on a prominence. Its highest watchtowers can see halfway to Claystone Lake. Its beacons can be seen for miles around, and reinforcements are never far.

The Cregnac Guard is a detachment of knights and associated house soldiers under Dame Ingrid for the defense of the city and keep. There are 20 knights with their house soldiery serving as full-time road patrols. With the banners raised, as much as 3,000 soldiers can be gathered. Though few, these soldiers see regular action, and are some of the kingdom's most experienced veterans. Other fighting forces train and serve a fraction of the time, and rarely meet the enemy. The guard mounts monthly sorties to quell bandit armies in Midvale, and their outriders are constantly gathering intelligence in the area.
