Garrison Quarters

A sizeable defensive force, these men will hold the line.

Not all warriors fight on the front line, at the literal bleeding edge of war. In a world before professional, large-scale standing armies, garrisons were used as a method of cultural conversion, and then as a defensive redoubt. The Romans called their process of garrisoning 'colonia' (from which we get 'colony') and involved settling citizens (usually retired veterans) in conquered towns to 'Romanise' the population. The rise of the Arabic Islamic caliphates saw this notion continued, as garrison towns were established so that dominance could easily be asserted over their new subjects. Additionally, the advent of more defensible fortifications meant that small retinues of professional troops were often stationed at castles and forts. This was particularly true of the Frankish Kingdom, where lines of fortified redoubts, known as 'marches', created militarised buffer zones between the Franks and their enemies.
