Ekeborg (Small City, 7,000): The new capital of Volinga, Ekeborg is built on a hill just west of the Coldwind Forest. From here, King Vidar rules his people.
Hakonsbyr (Large Town, 5,000): The old capital, these days Hakonsbyr serves its original purpose as a fortress against Haradrim incursions from the east. Surrounded by a thick wall and a wide moat, and guarded by Volingan horsemen, Hakonsbyr is a formidable fortress. The city and garrison is commanded by the one-eyed Jarl Ivar Svarthammar, a hard-bitten veteran warrior.
Sammisdalr (Large Town, 3,000): A mining community as the foot hills of the Raven Peaks, the mines of Sammisdalr produce all the iron needed by the armies of Volinga. It is ruled by Jarl Ydan Karlsson, a former warrior crippled in battle against the goblins of Dark-Cavern. He has managed, however, to change from a hard-bitten veteran to an able task-master, able to keep the moods of the miners in check.
Uppholm (Small Town, 2,000): A small fishing community at the south coast of Black Water, it is ruled by the able Jarl Bjorn Ivarsson.
