One of three front-line cities intended to be able to alert the remainder of Vandermane in the event of hostile action against the kingdom. Ayotha is the only one along a major road, and the closest to the Ressarian border, and as such has the largest military presence of the three.

In the event of large-scale invasion, the intention is for the guard towers of Ayotha to spot the army and immediately send reports to Camulodonum and Nidaros. In this way, they can quickly coordinate the full Vandermane Militia, reaching a determination on whether to have the citizens of Ayotha retreat to a larger population center and allow the Valetti to engage the enemy troops on open ground, or to reinforce Ayotha with a combination of Rangers and Yeomen.

Although the kingdom of Vandermane had not seen war for decades, this system was put to the test during the Ressarian Military's Coup de Main. Ayotha managed to rally two battalions of Valetti and several more battalions of Yeomen and Rangers to its defense, but lacked skilled leadership. The party arrived just in time to join the battle and organize the troops, leading them to victory and saving the city with zero civilian casualties and essentially no damage to the city walls.
