In a Northern Border Fort, at the edges of Gaul or possibly just inside Gaul, depending on who you ask. A town once ravaged and destroyed by wolves that in the last 3 years has been repopulated by ex slaves, those that fled the Crusades and criminals looking for a new start. Under the known leadership of a Brujah Siblings and with a watchful eye on strangers, rumors are beginning to filter into Gaul of expansion and fortifications.
Activity is seen at old stone quarries, Merchants and travelers who are allowed through he pass complain of heavy tolls but also admit that it seems to be well patrolled and one of the safest areas to travel. They report sledges of recently felled trees and foundations of long fallen watch posts along the valley, both sides of the long mountainous pass showing signs of new activity.
Safe secure areas in the highlands seem to have received gifts from somewhere fields are being tilled and crops planted. Sheep and goats are grazing. Peasants are carefully watched and overseen by hard faced and well armed individuals as though freedom and trust are hard to come by.
Purchases of essentials and tools are the main focus as merchants pass through but little to nothing is being sold.
It is also suggested that some of the destitute who have fled Klagenfurt may have found their way there.
The Gaul side of the pass has a large thick stone wall under construction with space for a gate.
