The northern outpost, positioned near the Croaking Briars. Traut watches the living thorn-barrier that separates Trømgar from Phirexes, though "watches" may be optimistic—the briars are effectively impassable, and no significant threat has emerged from that direction.
Traut's warriors have attempted to breach the Croaking Briars repeatedly, seeking glory in being first through. None have succeeded. The briars regenerate overnight, growing faster where blood is spilled, and the Strømgodden have learned that some obstacles cannot be overcome through fury alone.
The settlement maintains a wary relationship with the few traders who know safe passages through the briars—paths that change weekly and are never shared freely.
