Grallund Training Facility

Between the gem like cities of Damev and Yaskhona lie the Great Barrens, the desolate wasteland that was once the mighty Grallund forest. The Barrens stretch for many kilometers, nothing grows in the barrens, nothing has for many centuries. The terrain is rough and travel across is often difficult. This unique area does serve one important purpose however; it has proven to be an excellent training ground for military forces. The barrens are located far enough from civilization to avoid disturbing the peace and are large enough to conduct full scale war games. Construction is underway of multiple full scale military bases to serve as both outposts and bases of operation during the planned simulations and exercises. Already the first shock division has deployed to the barrens to conduct training and tactical drills, they have practiced aerial insertions and securing a mock village that was set up. Later this month the first and second armored as well as the fifth infantry and third support are scheduled to arrive and begin joint training exercises. There is even rumor that a contingent of the Chelkran Elite Guard have set up an outpost to drill in the Barrens with North’s shock troops.
