Burgstall

A Resilient Village in the Mountain Valley

Burgstall is a picturesque village nestled in a mountain valley, half a day's journey from Marbek. Located between two glimmering lakes, it is renowned for its lush farmland, which sustains most of Marbek. The villagers lead simple yet fulfilling lives, rising before dawn to tend to their fields and livestock. Despite their hard work, they come together in the evenings around bonfires to share stories and enjoy each other's company.

On special occasions, an envoy from Marbek, adorned in white cloaks emblazoned with Kortis, visits Burgstall. The villagers eagerly gather to listen to tales of distant battles and the feats of their ruler's armies. These stories fill them with pride and a sense of security, knowing they are protected by Marbek.

Life in Burgstall is challenging, but the villagers' strong will and determination help them create something beautiful from their humble circumstances. They live each day as a precious gift, united and resilient in the face of hardships.
