Ardanyan is a town unlike any other. Its wealthy citizens live behind secure, massive walls uncommon for a settlement of this size. In the past, ork scorchers of the Skull Wharg tribe have failed miserably to overcome the town’s fortifications. Keeping a safe distance, they remain a threat to caravans outside Ardanyan’s sphere of influence. For travelers and adventurers alike, Ardanyan represents a safe haven for those seeking rest from traveling the trade route between Bartertown and Tansiarda.

The town of Ardanyan is separated into three distinct parts: The Ring, Hangside, and Landside. Ardanyan is also surrounded by an impressive wall, which usually leaves an impression of strength on passing travelers. The fortifications connect a handful of smaller towers, and four large towers form the two gates of Ardanyan: Westgate and Eastgate. The road from Eastgate leads to Tansiarda, and travelers from Bartertown arrive at Westgate. The bridge is located inside Ardanyan, preventing it from being used without paying a toll.
