Geography
Sirocco Fortress is located on a hill on the northern coast of Meropis. Sirocco Fortress comprises a fortified citadel and a small village. Coursing over the rough Northern Scrublands, the Coastal Highway connects the hardy redoubt to the barred castle of Thornwall Hold and Aster Keep. Sirocco maintains control of a prisoner's mining camp at nearby Ulsyndar.
