Pitchcliff (border town trade between the Carja and the Oseram)
Free Heap (young, independent frontier town built by work gangs who fled Meridian during the Mad King’s reign)
Renowned for their exceptional skills as smiths and traders, the Oseram represent a high-water mark of general technological knowledge in the world of Horizon.
Oseram settlements usually consist of circular or conical structures and exhibit considerable engineering ingenuity.
The walls around their villages are armor-plated. Gates are drawbridges or porticullises.
Winches and cranes transport goods over the walls to waiting porters or boats.
Blast furnaces melt down salvaged metal which artisans mold into weapons, armor, or a dizzying assortment of component parts.
Though the Oseram and the Carja are currently at peace, the situation remains a politically volatile one. Access to Oseram territory for outsiders have been gated.
The Oseram in Free Heap lay claim to a rich seam of ancient metal and defend it fiercely. Many would consider these Oseram useful allies, though they are a source of frustration to their own tribe by refusing to adhere to tribal law. Or taxes.
