Burg Emsch towers majestically on a cliff at the foot of Mount Lodner, overlooking the Vinshgau River. This mighty fortress, with its high stone walls and crenellated towers, exudes an air of formidable strength. However, the castle's age is apparent, with signs of decay due to a lack of maintenance. The drawbridge creaks as it lowers, inviting visitors into a courtyard surrounded by dark corridors leading to large chambers adorned with rich tapestries and treasures.
The lord of Burg Emsch is Sheriff von Emsch, a cruel and ruthless man who rules his lands with an iron fist in service of the Lord of Salern. He is often seen in heavy armor over black leather clothing, wielding a menacing mace. His cold blue eyes miss nothing; he is acutely aware of everything happening within his castle walls.
The people of Burg Emsch live in fear of their lord's wrath, yet they acknowledge the security he provides against external threats. They are a hardworking and resilient community, appreciative of the protection Sheriff von Emsch offers, even if it comes at the cost of enduring his occasional fits of temper. Though many fear him, the sheriff commands respect for his unwavering vigilance in safeguarding his domain through both prosperous and challenging times.
