Timber Post

A logging-road checkpoint near Pine Run that monitors timber shipments headed for Korr Field. Timber Post also serves as an emergency shelter during the severe storms that sweep the eastern Frontier each autumn. Its garrison is small but well-supplied. On the Varnhalt Frontier, this site sits inside the patchwork of crossroad towns, mesa camps, and trade-protected routes that radiate from Old Varnhalt. The Loosening is constant here — mile markers contradict, paths loop — so settlements rely on local pacing and on the small island of stability around the Black Stone Tower in the eastern hills. The Frontier has no central authority; this place answers to whoever its trade depends on this season.
