Talagaad
A dismal port of dubious reputation, Talagaad sprawls across the Talabec River, its two ends connected by an ancient stone bridge, the Wizard’s Crossing, which serves as part of the Old Forest Road. If all river trade to Talabheim did not pass through its docks, Talagaad would be considered a miserable backwater to be avoided by all upstanding folk. As things stand, it is a miserable backwater, but one where there’s money to be made by bold and enterprising sorts, with a vibrancy that few will ever publicly acknowledge.
Goods and people coming from the eastern Empire and beyond do so down the deep Talabec River, and much of this invariably passes through the docks of Talagaad.
It is a port built on hopeful immigrants and desperate refugees. The muddy streets of Talagaad are filled with merchants, labourers, ne’er-do-wells, smugglers, hunters, sellswords, fishers, and enough thieves to test the endurance of even the most dedicated hangman, or so it is said. Those of Kislevite descent make up a good deal of Talagaad’s populace, often labouring at the very docks they or their ancestors arrived at.
The poor of Talagaad, and there are many, have mostly come from the surrounding countryside, all seeking a better life or fleeing a terrible one. Many turn to petty crime to get by, picking pockets or poaching game from the Duke’s lands nearby. Those with ambition turn to smuggling, for which there are endless opportunities in Talagaad.
