Salkalten

Salkalten is a town founded in a failed attempt to draw trade away from Marienburg. Before the war, it was a sleepy fishing, trading, and smuggling town that sat nearly forgotten.
  Now, however, it is abuzz with activity. After the defeat of Artheus, Count von Raukov has taken his army north and established his temporary capital at Salkalten, one of the few towns not sacked by the invaders.
  From here he has sent officers to re-establish contact with and control over the other towns of the north, Birkewiese and Bohsenfels. Meanwhile, as he hires mercenaries and gathers what Ostlander forces are left, he has made Salkalten into a hub of diplomatic activity, too.
  Von Raukov has despatched Salkalten’s ruler, Baron von Wolder, to Marienburg to negotiate loans for hiring more troops, while he has sent emissaries to the King's court to ask for the loan of some knights for the coming campaign.
  Salkalten is rife with another activity, too: espionage. Agents of the Chaos Powers that have established themselves in the north have infiltrated Salkalten and other towns to learn the Count’s plans and, if possible, sabotage them.
