Lavonia's Military District

The Military District stands as a formidable bastion of Lavonia’s strength, its high gray stone walls reinforced with sentinel towers rising beside the harbor, adorned with red rose compass banners fluttering since the early founding. Cobblestone streets, lined with segmental arch bridges, lead to barracks housing the 11th Iron Legionnaires and 23rd Emberforged Artillery, their training grounds echoing with the clash of steel and the roar of counterweight trebuchets testing their range. A mechanical clock, mounted on a watchtower, ticks with precision, regulating drills, while treadwheel cranes hoist cannon barrels and golem components from the Golem Production Facility, its blast furnaces humming with dwarven-crafted ingenuity, a testament to the district’s martial innovation post-Split.   Services in the Military District focus on defense and strategy, with the Golem Proving Ground crafting and repairing golems armed with cannons and flametongue rifles, their stone and metallic forms a bulwark against sieges, while the barracks provide lodging and training, equipped with steel crossbows and plate armor from the Artisan District. The Rose Citadel headquarters coordinates land tactics, its war room illuminated by oil lamps and astrolabes for planning joint operations with Markia up north, and healers from a nearby Sol shrine, aided by an illustrated surgical atlas, tend to wounded troops.   The district’s atmosphere blends disciplined vigor with rugged beauty, its walls etched with murals of past victories, the scent of oil and gunpowder mingling with the salty harbor breeze, a stronghold since Lavonia’s independence.
