The frontier outpost, built on a ridge where the mountains give way to the plains. Plainwatch is less a city than a fortified observation post with a permanent garrison. Its towers provide sight lines across dozens of miles of satyr territory.
Plainwatch exists to provide early warning. If the satyr ever unite—if the rumored king consolidates power—the signal fires from Plainwatch will give Graystone and Ironforge time to seal their defenses. The garrison rotates frequently; posting to Plainwatch is considered both honorable and deeply tedious.
The city has perhaps 2,000 permanent residents, mostly military families and support personnel. Civilian population fluctuates with threat assessment.
