Originally, little more than an outpost, keeping an eye on the northern wilderness, Midfort has grown, and the original small fort has been expanded by adding an outer stockade. The Fort still serves a military purpose, it holds an officer and his troops, who patrol the local area and deal with incursions from tribes and the larger creatures that still inhabit the area.

The area is not safe enough for settlers, and the few residents live inside the stockade. They are a hardy lot, mainly hunters, trappers and woodsmen, wise in the ways of the forest, and able to look after themselves, if need be. They also serve as a secondary defensive force, and will work with the garrison if there is a major incursion.
