Orizan is an outpost of the Halimin military in the southeastern-most corner of Falnorian. It is located deep in the swamps of southern Halimin, tucked against the encroaching rainforest to the south. This is Orizan’s purpose: to see the construction of the Eastern Greenwall, a barrier meant to hold back the ever-growing tide of the rainforest and protect Halimin from the warring elemental spirits within. Orizan is a semi-permanent camp: buildings constructed in place of tents, and well-fortified against the danger outside. The outpost is surrounded by a thick palisade; a ways beyond it is the foundation of the Greenwall itself, and beyond that an outer line of spikewalls and earthworks. Nearly two-thirds of the camp are soldiers, builders, and mages; all trained for fighting the rainforest and for the construction of the Greenwall.

History of the Location
Orizan is a new outpost, only built in the last ten years; its sole purpose is the construction of the Greenwall. Before that – for almost two thousand years – the region was deserted wildland. However, there are signs of a much older civilization that once lived in this region: artifacts, dug from the earth as the foundations of the Greenwall are laid, suggest the presence of an ancient 1st-Era civilization of which almost nothing is known. In the rush to build the Greenwall, there has been precious little time to study those ruins – and if not researched now while the construction is in progress, the artifacts of this mysterious civilization may be lost forever.
