# [[Kaagunud]] > [[Aturi]] town. [[Imperial Army]] enclave. Kaagunud is an [[Aturi]] settlement part of the [[Barony of Brine Rapids]]. It is known to host a high-security prison managed by the [[Imperial Army]]. The prison was used during the [[Reign of Terror]] hold, torture, and murder dissidents. ![[Kaagunud.png]] Kaagunud is settled on a couple of rocky hills near the [[Ourú River]]. Some shallow creeks spring on the hills and flow through the town to and drain into the river a couple kilometers west. It is connected to [[Brine Rapids]] and [[Goldthread]] through a cobblestone road. The buildings of Kaagunud follow traditional [[Aturi]] architecture and are usually angular edifices made with stone and mortar, covered with clay plaster. # Government [[Speaker Guro Norod]] has served as the Speaker of Kaagunud since the death of his uncle at the start of the [[Reign of Terror]]. As per aturi law, the Speaker holds audiences to solve disputes. Each dwarven clan also has a retinue of warriors at their service that serve as the front-line of defense for the town. The [[Imperial Army]] manages the prison and serve as local militia if there is additional need for protection, but in case of war, the town would depend on troops coming from [[Brine Rapids]] to defend the town. # Economy A good deal of the budget of Kaagunud comes from rent paid by the [[Court of Fortuna]] to maintain the prison. There are no large industries, but a great deal of the locals are employed providing artisanal goods and services to the army, including blacksmiths, locksmiths, cooks and cleaners. Food is grown by farmers in the outskirts towards the [[Ourú River]] and stored throughout the year in siloes in the St. Jernod. # Districts The village is divided in 3 distinct neighborhoods: The Workshops and St. Jernod sitting in the two hills, and Good Landing at the base of the hills. ## Workshops (Artisan district) The Workshops district is built on the highest hill of the area, with the prison sitting atop, next to the smaller Norod Clan House. ### Norod Clan House Large cubic edifice with a courtyard inside, where [[Speaker Guro Norod]] receives visitors. An [[ancient aturi portal]] serves a centerpiece of the courtyard, surrounded by a herb garden. Contains a store for masterwork tools, weapons and armor. ### Kaagunud Prison A high-security prison, serves as a small garrison for the [[Imperial Army]], commanded by [[General Tauara of Termitópolis]] (%%LN %%[[Settler]] [[Yurumibá]]). %%The general herself travels to nearby towns to collect prisoners and is rarely around.
