Town Character

While all of Weisbaum is Teutonic or Aquilan in flavour, Sudbach brings out the darkest side of the national character. Everyone is suspicious of strangers, which includes people whose parents weren't born on the right side of the river. Strange events are omens of doom. Burnings of itinerants is the usual way to keep warm in winter. The werewolf-infested Wylan Hills looming in the background, and the hordes of orcs infesting the Black Forest to the West encourage the xenophobia.

While the rest of Volar has been opening its collective mind about magic and other races, Sudbach is still living firmly in the seventh century. If you behave strangely, you may have to fight your way out of the mob, thus confirming their prejudices.
