Toormah’s was never a very populous region, its villages were generally small, composed of mostly farmers of Flannish descent and without any major defensive works. A few larger towns of notable size dotted the northern and southern extents where border trade with the Dwarves of the Rakers or Oredians was brisk. These cites were really little more than larger villages with wooden palisades and a small tower atop a mote.
