Breisberg
Demographics
Most of the population are Schafheimer culture but there is a small Gedaran ruling elite. Many Schafheimer refugees from Achi live in Breisberg and the areas around. This is where the core of the Schafheimer resistance is located
Government
The baron rules directly but takes advice from the Gedaran nobles and a selection of guild leaders.
Industry & Trade
Breisberg is located on the Blanalennia River and is the point in which the Highway crosses the river via ferries.
The Baron makes most of his income from tolls levied on everyone who crosses the river at this point. All ferries need a licence from the Baron to operate.
Because of the location of the town on the river and the highway, it is an important crossroads. The constant flow of travellers through the town means there are a lot of inns, hotels, and hostels.
The Blanalennia River is navigatable for ocean-going ships as far as Lortal in Achi, about 400 km up river from Bresiberg. This means Breisberg has a significant port.
It is also a place people come to, especially Schafheimers, to get loans.

History
Before 3320 Breisberg was an important Schafheimer centre for trade and culture. The location has for centuries been an important crossroads.
Architecture
Breisberg is mainly constructed of stone because it is located on a significant rock outcropping. Most other towns in Sadadolosia only use stone for defences and the most important buildings. In Breisberg every building is made of stone. Access to stone means it is in fact the law to build out of stone. This does not extend to the areas outside of the town.
Geography
Breisberg is located on a rocky outcropping on the west bank of the Blanalennia river. The rock outcropping means the river is a bit narrower at this point making the crossing of the river faster.
