(-38, -11, 0) Fort Shantaari (Global: -38, 70)

Fort Shantaari is an enclave of half-elves started by Amlithor the notable half elf adventurer, now trying to create a better world for his people. It is located in northwestern Cimbra, where the forest gives way to the northern mountains. The fort itself is built from the local wood, and backs onto a mountain. The keep within is carved into the mountain's face, and caverns sufficient to hold the whole population are within this mountain. Entry to the fort is from the south, through a gate that is next to the Grinning Cat.

The fort outside of the mountain is deliberately small, guarded at each corner by a tower that looks out over both the external forest and the internal streets. Only the barracks of the local guard, The Dead Goblin Pub, the Adventurers Guildhall and a small shop are outside the keep. As a fort, almost every half-elf that lives here is trained in the arts of war, and all will fight to defend it. The barracks has 2 floors, and only holds the best of those that fight.

The keep has 2 floors outside the mountain, and another floor within. The bottom floor is taken up by the needs of life in such a fort, with offices, dining rooms and a kitchen. The second floor has private rooms for the heros of the fort, and a balcony that looks south out over the fort and forest. It provides a beautiful view, and clear fields of fire.

Within the mountain is a massive cavern, that is the final defense of the fort. A thin passage of carved rock leads to it, but within is room for all of the fort's inhabitants. The smith, armoury, healer and a room for training in war are connected to this cavern.
