South-guard Ruins is a landmark within Andrath, in Bree-land. [35.7S, 51.6W]
Athwart the road of Andrath these ruins mark the passage from the Bree-land into Southern Andrath in the long-abandoned Cardolan. Recently a group of brigands and vile half-orcs from the south have made travel on the road difficult, ambushing any traveller who comes too close and raiding the neighbourhood.
Two Watchers from Bree are assigned to keep an eye on these brigands and to do whatever it takes and that is within their power to prevent further attacks on common folk, but also to gather information about their true leaders and purposes. They have climbed uphill and are found inside a sheltering tower at the north-eastern corner.
