Northold, under Mayor Gandred, is (the main settlement on The Military Road. The supply road from Edgemoor comes here, and then everything is distributed out to the other settlements, as well as the rotation point for the guards at the frontier watch towers. Because of this, Northold has grown into an (almost) independent small town, although it is still very rural. It has two farms on the outskirts, as well as a market and smallholdings, to complement the Inn and Chapel.

Junction is a small village located where three roads meet. East the road leads to Northold, West to Bar-Z and south goes back down to Granton and Edgemoor. There is a small tavern here, and the village has plenty of scope for expansion, considering how well connected it is. However, at the moment it is a sleepy rural village, under military control - but, Sir Tib, who is a bit of a local hero and a friend to The Smallholders, has a big say in what happens around here.

Reedham Is the fishing village at the eastern end of The Military Road. Once little more than a lookout point, it has, in these more peaceful times, grown into a simple fishing village. Their whole way of life, seems to be based around fish. They catch them, smoke them, pickle them, pot them and eat them. They make reed mats and baskets as well, although this comes second to fish. Helga, from the Flying Fish Inn, is their leader.

The Ranch village, Zebediah is the village reeve, he needs moorland for sheep and horses - and the misfits that he employs.
