The most prestigious military posting in Tarkhon, directly across the Needle from Tarkhetan itself.
Torsnerhun and Tarkhetan together control the Needle—the narrowest point of the strait. Firemages on both shores can burn any ship attempting to run the passage without permission. The two fortresses work in coordination, their fires overlapping to create an impassable barrier.
Garrison: ~500 elite soldiers, including a significant firemage detachment. The best equipment, the best training, the best officers.
Posting: Torsnerhun is where careers are made. Officers assigned here are on the rise—they've distinguished themselves and are being groomed for higher command. The competition for posting is fierce.
Commander: General Halric Vance, a decorated veteran in his fifties. Loyal to the crown, respected by his troops, and aware that his position makes him a political figure whether he likes it or not.
