A small lakeside fishing town on Maer Dualdon — quieter and more modest than its rivals, sustained by knucklehead trout and a stubborn refusal to die.
Bremen is barely a town — more an agreement among a few dozen families to freeze together rather than alone. The wind off Maer Dualdon cuts through the settlement without obstruction, rattling shutters and driving snow through gaps in the walls. The Buried Treasures tavern provides the only real communal warmth, smelling of fish stew and cheap ale. Without defenses, Bremen relies on its insignificance for protection — raiders generally find richer targets elsewhere. The people here are quiet, self-reliant, and deeply suspicious of outsiders who might bring trouble to a town that cannot afford it.
A scattering of low timber buildings along the western shore of Maer Dualdon, without walls or palisade. Fishing nets hang frozen on racks between the buildings. The docks are simple affairs of rough-hewn planks, and a few overturned boats serve as improvised shelters for the poorest residents.
