Location:	[35.7S, 51.6W]

South-guard Ruins is a landmark within Andrath, in Bree-land. ^{[35.7S, 51.6W]}

Athwart the North-South Road these ruins mark the passage from the Bree-land into Southern Andrath into the long-abandoned Cardolan and beyond. 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 cutting off trade for those who still dwell in the vanished realm.

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.
