Introduction are are the civilized folk who don’t dwell in cities, and in the Savage Frontier, those cities are walled and heavily defended. This booklet details most of the cities found in this vast land, separated into the same categories as the locations detailed in The Wilderness book. Many of the NPCs mentioned can be found in the first book. In addition to their standing militia, most cities in the north have ballistae (often referred to as heavy crossbow guns) or catapults mounted on their wall towers that can be aimed at attacking foes. The statistics for these two weapons are given below. Unless specified in the city’s description, use the light weapon statistics whenever possible. Light Ballista: Rng 3,000; Dmg 2d6; ROF 1/2; Crew 1; THAC0 12; Cost 400. Medium Ballista: Rng 2,000; Dmg 3d6; ROF 1/3; Crew 2; THAC0 14; Cost 600. Heavy Ballista: Rng 1,000; Dmg 3d10; ROF 1/4; Crew 4; THAC0 17; Cost 800. Light Catapult: Rng 2,500; Dmg 2d10; ROF 1/2; Crew 1; THAC0 14; Cost 500. Medium Catapult: Rng 2,000; Dmg 3d10; ROF 1/2; Crew 3; THAC0 15; Cost 700. Heavy Catapult: Rng 1,500; Dmg 3d10; ROF 1/3; Crew 5; THAC0 17; Cost 1,000. l l l l l

The largest cities use hard stone walls as their main line of defense. Other large cities have soft stone walls. Medium-sized cities and wealthy landowners use earthen palisades. Rich landowners and large villages have thick wood palisades. Large farms and small communities barrier their population with thin wood palisades.

When siege weapons are used in attacks against walled fortresses or palisaded villages in the North, the DM should refer to the Siege Damage section of Chapter 9: Combat of the DUNGEON MASTER® Guide and refer to table 52 (given below) in order to determine the success of siege attacks.

Although they’re not shown on the maps, the fortified frontier steadings of the more powerful independent landholders exist and are a vital part of commerce and life in the North. Most of these holdings are ranches and farms concentrated along the western banks of the Dessarin River. Communities also appear on the southern bank of the Delimbiyr River and along the Sword Coast, where fishing and trade with southern and interior communities is the mainstay.
