Bremen
Founded by gold miners, the sleepy town of Bremen sits on the west bank of lake Grimsvotn, at the mouth of the Vimur River.
Bremen's harbor has frozen, requiring local fishers to haul their boats acrossthe ice to put them in the lake. Visitors who lack a boat can reach Bremen only by crossing the river, which is mostly frozen over.
If Everwinter has one benefit, it's that the hardy folk of Bremen are spared the seasonal floods that normally threaten the town in early summer.
That is not to say that the long nights, frigid air, and howling blizzards provide any comfort. They don't.
The regular blizzards often cuts off Bremen from the other settlements of The Parliament.
Twice in the past two months, residents of Bremen have had to mount search parties for their town speaker and oldest living resident, Arnulf Tunnely, and
twice they've found him wandering the frozen shores of the Vimur in heavy furs, with no memory of how he got there. Tunnely, old even by halfling standards, isn't long for this world. Many locals fear the same is true of the town itself, if Vetur's brutal winter does not abate.
Government
Once a year they elect a mayor/speaker.
Industry & Trade

Points of interest

Once a place known to buy and sell rare treaures, it is now little more than a barely visited pawn shop.
