Einhaughten

Einhaughten is a city located in the Black Forest within the Imperial Empire. The exact foundation of the city is uncertain, but has been a hub of trade and safety from the confines of the dreaded Black Forest, which is often considered dangerous and cursed. Many say the city matches its surroundings, with the architecture of the city consisting of blackened wooden buildings and even the castle is made of seemingly black stone and wood, ubless under direct sunlight - which is often a rarity in the climate of the Black Forest. Adjacent to the city is the Imperial Fort Glyy. The city is under the direct rule of Countess Virola Shepstein, whose age is unclear but has ruled the city with a firm hand, yet with respect. Whispers abound that the Countess is actually a vampire, as some citizens of the toen cannot even remark when she inherited the throne from her father.
