| Where
Seagulls Dare.
At the sea-mouth of the River Reik stands
Marienburg, the world's marketplace: the largest,
richest, most corrupt and most dangerous city-port
in the Old World.
Here, everything is for sale and nothing
is without a price. In the markets and docks,
traders win and lose fortunes over exotic
cargos from every land. Meanwhile, in slum
taverns or beside filthy canals, more sinister
deals are done for smuggled weapons. stolen
booty, secrets, loyalties, bodies or worse.
And with the Empire and Bretonnia both eyeing
Marienburg's wealth and location, the city
is on a knife-edge, filled with racial tension,
espionage and fear.
Built on a hundred islands, Marienburg is
home to he richest man alive, the only enclave
of Sea Elves in the Old World, and more gold
than adventurers can dream of. Here on the
edge of the Sea of Claws are so many chances
for adventure, excitement and messing about
in boats that even a corrupt local dock-master
couldn't count them all.
