Once a great and well garrisoned Fort, Halberstadt has been enjoying it's time of peace.
During the war, this Fort was a thorn in the elven forces' side, successfully preventing the bulk of the elves from reaching Durmstadlt and from there, Aelberon.
Now it is used as a training ground for human soldiers as well as knights in training.
The fortress consists of a large outer wall to protect from sieges as well as high towers for archers. Inside are catapults, ballistas and siege engines for the offensive.
The buildings are all made of stone and enforced with metal frames. There are two large gates that were recently added in to facilitate trade on both the north and south walls, but in times of war a pulley system was designed inside that allows for metal gates to swing forth and lock in place.
Not very far to the west is a large lake that get's it waters from the river that extends from Helsig's Teeth. Here the Fortress keeps a small garrison of boats to prevent sneak attacks by water.
The population is approximately 5,000
