Barrus

A fortress in Cameo near Cameo Lake, being one of the many fort/towns that one would have to go through to meet the capital.

History
Founded during the Column Era, it stands on top of the very important Jaedinar-Cameo Redline, a Linear Train System Line that is one of the arteries of trade. For a long while it did not have to worry about much, beyond the usual pirates and mercenaries, until the War of the Insane King, which brought out its importance.

It was one of the last forts loyal to the Insane King, but disobeyed his orders after their walls were breached. They refused to permanently destroy the Redline, as that was their duty before the wars.

After a while, the fort was given to the Liser Family. They lost it due to their family's treachery, forcing them to stay in Cameo Lake to stay near the Emperor. Technically, it is still under Liser control, but not officially. The day to day manager is Beauclerk, who dates from the Column Era, but only as a secretary. He was especially grateful for his upgrade, finally getting the recognition he feels he deserves.
