Altbach

A small town at the crossroads, just as Zobeck is, but with much less drive and ambition and with more waterwheels driven by streams coming down into the hills. Its people seem content to hammer gold leaf, forge peculiar springs, master button-making, and otherwise specialize in fields too obscure for Zobeckers to pursue. Its large shrine to Rava also contains a peculiar gear-altar for Volund; many Altbachers believe the two gods are part of a divine marriage, a belief considered mildly offensive and heretical both in Zobeck and in Templeforge. Altbach’s mayor is Calmuresh Coppersmith (LN male gearforged rogue 4).
