	Almost every significant Imperial [[fortification]] has foundations of Damatian granite, and it has been a point of pride for Seats down the ages to ensure that new fortresses and castles from [[Wintermark]] to [[Urizen]] use at least a little of their stone. It is traditional for those who have worked the cliffs here to be dismissive of the longevity of any major structure that does not use Damatian granite. Perhaps the best known fortification built with Damatian granite is [[Kahraman#Braydon's_Jasse\|Fort Braydon]], built in the earliest days of [[the Brass Coast]] with the first granite quarried in Serra Damata.

	There are several armed camps, small-scale fortifications, along the mountains above the Cliffs that protect both the quarries and the rest of Kahraman from the bandits and outlaws who dwell in the hills and mountains along the borders with [[Mournwold]] and [[Liathaven]]. There are five fortresses in the region in all, each built of granite quarried nearby. The five garrisons are named for distinctive patterns of silvery inflection on their walls, which are said to take the form of one of the [[astronomancy\|constellations]].

	Almost every significant Imperial [[fortification]] has foundations of Damatian granite, and it has been a point of pride for Seats down the ages to ensure that new fortresses and castles from [[Wintermark]] to [[Urizen]] use at least a little of their stone. It is traditional for those who have worked the cliffs here to be dismissive of the longevity of any major structure that does not use Damatian granite. Perhaps the best known fortification built with Damatian granite is [[Kahraman#Braydon's_Jasse\|Fort Braydon]], built in the earliest days of [[the Brass Coast]] with the first granite quarried in Serra Damata. There are also three smaller castles built into the sides of the mountains overlooking the great quarries, each garrisoned by Freeborn soldiers.
