Frontier Military Outposts (cluster)

Norkan Outposts

A cluster of battered frontier outposts where accusation and memory have hardened into political ammunition. The Norkan Outposts register as scarred terrain in conversation: silent barracks, blackened parapets, and the echo of ordered violence that refuses to die. References to the site cut through ceremony, converting geography into proof and moral reckoning. Characters invoke the outposts to weaponize history, to undermine authority, and to demand accountability for a massacre tied to Jarok’s past.
