Candle Square

WFRP 4e Altdorf Crown Of Empire

From the workshops of the many chandlers, the smells of sandalwood and cinnamon mix with wafts of lavender and the deep, cloying stench of simmering tallow. Contrary to popular belief, inhabitants of Altdorf keep themselves reasonably clean, and the chandlers here also produce most of the city’s soap. This is usually plain, but when a major religious festival approaches, exotic scents mingle in the air. Candles and soap bars are sold wholesale to Fish gangers, who fetch and carry crates to the Old Docks for distribution further across the city to shopkeepers, bathhouses, and inns. Wealthy clients occasionally appear in person at the square, seeking the most exotic and unique candles for that special occasion. These clients are always accompanied by a bodyguard or two, lest they fall victim to robbers or pickpockets.
