Dreadfort

Dreadfort is the capital of the Kingdom of Bolten, and the ancestoral home of the powerful House Bolten.

Dreadfort is a large city which surrounds a large wooded forest with the large Bolten Keep deep in the center of the forest. The city itself is large with a population over 200,000 of which nearly 70% are House Bolten loyalists so they have a very large support amongst the population of Dreadfort.

Early History
The region of Dreadfort was first inhabited by the members of the wealthy House Bolten, and in them the area was the home of the Bolten estate. They used the land acting like Lords of the region and were the producers of huge amounts of food, and goods for trade. It was during the beggining of the Great Migration that the Atlantians of the region begin to pull away due to the huge immigration of Goths to the region.

Jornin Bolten saw that with the departing Atlantians the Goths were going to have a home of their own, and in this way he begin marshaling his personal thralls in his estate to build farms in the surrounding regions, and he offered goth families the chance to farm these lands the only cost being they swore loyalty to House Bolten. For poor goth families this offer was beyond great, and the region around his estate swelled with the coming families. With the farm land all taken he began inviting them to start businesses, and industry in the estate that he now renamed Dreadfort. In his 45 year life he would turn his small estate of only 120 people into a town of 1200 and a surounding farmland loyal to him of hundreds more.
