Only a couple of generations ago, these were military bases that formed the frontier. However, the frontier pushed forwards and they became part of the supply line. Now the frontier is being pushed forwards again, and they sit at the base of the supply line, and are developing into proper, functioning, towns in their own right.

Edgemoor was once a major staging post, but the frontier has moved on, and Northold has taken over that role. Edgemoor now manages the supply line, and is still heavily militarized. The Military Quarter, built inside a defensive wall, houses an Iomedaean Abbey, a mercenary Barracks and a military training school, while most of the business are located in a second ward that is protected by a palisade. In recent years, some businesses and smallholding have grow up just outside the town walls. Sir Kendrick, a blind Paladin of Iomedae, leads the town, is Commander of the Army and acts as March-Warden.

Granton was once the forward observation post for Edgemoor, giving early warning of attacks and other threats, when they were on the 'cutting edge' of the frontier, but now it is the area's largest grain producer. Little more than a large village, this small town now grows much of the cereal used in The March. Caravans from between Edgemoor and Northold stop here regularly, taking grain out and bringing other goods in. Mayor Bigjob is responsible for the town's management and administration.
