Bremmen

Bremmen is a small village on the northern shores of Lake Deneval. It is comprised mainly of human fisherman and their families.

Bremmen is typically known as the loudest city in Libera--an impressive feat for a town of 200. The reason for this is the dominant Mistfish trade, a talkative species that tends to repeat what fishermen say. Mistfish reproduce extremely quickly, and if not harvested frequently, they will leave Lake Deneval via the Mad Tempest, a very quick turbulent stream that leads to the ocean. Mistfish typically live up to an hour after being removed from water, and they will not stop blabbering until death. Bremman fisherman have frequent spats with the fishermen of Thais, as Mistfish can only be caught in the deepest parts of Lake Deneval, and the two cities' nets often become entangled.

Bremmen was originally founded as an alternative headquarters for the priests of Heironeous, but was abandoned when the priests realized how stagnant and pungent the air becomes in summer months (Thais is relatively immune to this smell as the mountain-breezes push it westwards of the lake). Fisherman, accustomed to such things, saw an opportunity and repopulated the city.

FUN FACT: Though the people of Bremmen harvest Mistfish, they seldom eat it out of distate for the noblemen Thais (who view it as an utmost delicacy). A more popular dish in Bremmen is the DinDin Fish, a smaller grey fish of steak-like consistency and taste, which does not require deworming, so long as you can skillfully avoid its poison sack. The great hero Aberris is also said to originate from Bremmen, or so they claim based on the hero's legendary scent.
