Teugen ’ s meddlings in the dark arts of daemonology have had a profound effect on him . Shortly after beginning his studies with Gideon he began developing unusually large canine teeth . Further , he has recently developed a nocturnal lifestyle as he finds the sun intolerably uncomfortable . When in direct sunlight , all of Teugen ’ s Tests are 1 step harder . Also , he can no longer stand the smell of garlic . If he comes within 1 yard of it , Teugen recoils in disgust and his eyes run — he insists that whoever is reponsible get rid of it as quickly as possible . If attacked while affected by garlic , all his Tests are 1 step harder . 113 SHADOWS OVER BÖGENHAFEN : CHAPTER 9 - THE DARKEST HOUR IXGideon knows of Teugen ’ s afflictions and takes great glee in abusing this knowledge , sometimes chewing a few garlic cloves before conversing with its ‘ good friend ’ Teugen . Because of this , Teugen has come to believe his aversion to garlic is sourced in his dislike of Gideon , who always seems to be eating the horrendous vegetable . Teugen is careful to ensure that nothing tarnishes his good image , both by maintaining his charitable work , and by ensuring his criminal activities are as clandestine as possible . Any dirty work he needs enacted is either carried out by Gideon or by thugs hired from the Stevedores ’ Guild , an organisation that is loyal to him and quite used to enacting illicit deeds . While outside his home , Teugen is always accompanied by at least two bodyguards ( use the Character Profile of Georg Handelsson on page 111 for these ) . If he has to be about business during the day , he typically takes a sedan chair carried by four of his servants , flanked by his ever-vigilant bodyguards . To keep up the pretence of being a good man , Teugen gives to the poor frequently when about town . Everyone has a good word to say about him . Gideon Teugen first made contact with the Daemon he calls Gideon eight years ago in Nuln . Gideon was instructed to make a pact with Teugen by its master , a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch with long-reaching plans for the Empire . In return for Teugen ’ s soul , Gideon was to grant great wealth and prosperity for seven years . To entice Teugen to make the deal , Gideon told him that if could persuade seven others to participate in a ritual before the seven years passed , Gideon would take those souls instead of Teugen ’ s . This would bring the pact to an end , freeing Teugen from the bargain . After much debate , Teugen eventually agreed . However , unknown to Teugen , not only will he never be able to reclaim his soul — Gideon lied about that — but the ritual to swap seven souls for his own actually opens a gateway into the Realm of Chaos — Gideon lied about that , too ! Gideon is a master illusionist and can take other forms . Its natural form appears like a Pink Horror of Tzeentch with a constant ripple of magic surrounding it — a multi-armed , pink-fleshed Daemon , with a gaping , fang-filled maw and ever- shifting tentacles . However , Gideon is not like most Daemons of Tzeentch . It is not a crazed , gibbering creature of unrestrained magic . Gideon is much more cunning . It was spun from the greed of others by its master for a specific purpose . Gideon is ambitious , clever , and resourceful , and it works towards its master ’ s goals with a singular purpose that would terrify Teugen if only he understood .

That was before the deal was struck , before Teugen was offered the world and more as the Daemon whispered sweet promises in his ear . After the deal , the daemon took on the persona of Gideon , a distant cousin of Teugen ’ s . He appears as a tall , slim , impeccably dressed Human man with dark hair and a handsome face dominated by intense eyes . The character the Daemon projects as Gideon is sardonic , and it feigns a quirky , ironic sense of humour . While it seldom , if ever , actually laughs , there is always a wry , faintly supercilious smile playing about its lips . For all it knows it shouldn ’ t , the Daemon is thoroughly enjoying its sojourn in the Mortal Realm . Lately , Gideon has taken to appearing as a child when around Teugen , and chewing a great deal of garlic , as it knows both irritate the man immensely . Over the years , the Daemon ’ s pretence of amusement at the greed and gullibility of mortals has become quite real , and is exceeded only by its relish at the thought of its imminent triumph when Teugen ’ s ritual — the one the fool thinks will save his soul — actually opens a Chaos Gate in the heart of the Reikland . Its master will be so pleased . Gibbering Horrors Should Teugen 's ritual succeed and a gate be torn open into the Realm of Chaos , the Empire is in trouble .

This is the earliest recorded ancestor of House Stürmdunkel.c . 500 IC The first Castle Grauenberg is built by House Schnital overlooking the River Bögen some 60 miles north of Bögenhafen . The Schnitals establish a toll , bringing them into direct conflict with the Stürmdunkels , who rely on river trade to Bögenhafen for their well-being . This starts over a thousand years of conflict between the two ancient Houses . c. 850 IC The Grey Driving . Ignoring the advice of the Grand Theogonist of Sigmar , Emperor Sigismund IV invades the fertile lands beyond the Grey Mountains . The local Human Bretonii tribesmen are easily dispersed . Soldiers by their thousands pass through Bögenhafen , significantly increasing its population , which swells to more than 5,000 for the first time . 955–970 IC The First Monfort War . Spurred by guerrilla-war successes of the Duc de Paréfon to the south-east , Bretonni tribesmen rise up against Grauesland . Under the leadership of Vauquelin , the self- appointed Dux Mons Fortis ( Duke of the Strong Mountain ) , and with support from a local warlord named Gilles , the Empire is driven back across the Grey Mountains . Refugees from this war bring Bögenhafen ’ s population to over 10,000 . 978 IC The Bretonni tribes are bound together by Gilles the Uniter , founding Bretonnia . The existing Dux Mon Fortis becomes one of Gilles ’ s dukes , titled Duc de Montfort in Gilles ’ s dialect of Bretonnian . The new duke consolidates Bretonnian power on the other side of the Axe Bite Pass to Bögenhafen , laying the foundations of a mighty fortress to oversee his troubled lands . 998 IC Dwarfs from Karak Ziflin arrive in Bögenhafen to open diplomatic relations with the rapidly expanding town . c. 1050 IC Ida Tränken secures a deal to sell Dwarf beer from Karak Ziflin in Bögenhafen , founding what will be known later as the Teugen Merchant House . 1111–1115 IC The Black Plague . Thousands fall to the disease , leaving only a few hundred survivors in Bögenhafen . 1363 IC Margot Saponà , a Bretonnian soap magnate from Marienburg , founds the village of Saponàtheim in the shadow of Castle Grauenberg . The ruling House Schnital agree to let her produce fragranced soaps on their land tax-free , hoping it will draw new workers to the area and , in turn , increase their tax yield . Unfortunately , the resulting stink drives the Schnitals from Castle Grauenberg , and they move to the nearby village of Trosreut . 1402 IC The Saponà family buy Castle Grauenberg from the Schnitals , and begin refurbishments . 1483 IC The Saponà family donate an enormous sum of money to House Schnital , and to several other great families of the Reikland . House Schnital then proposes to ennoble the Saponàs as House Saponatheim . The Reikland Diet approves the motion as accusations of corruption fly . Baroness Siefigha is the first head of House Saponatheim . 1681 IC The Night of the Restless Dead . The dead rise from the Gardens of Morr , slaughtering thousands . Duke Heideklippe Stürmdunkel commands the Cult of Morr to remove all Morrian holy sites beyond the walls of any settlement in the duchy of Bögenhafen , a law that stands to this day . 1940 IC The Poisoned Feast . Constant Drachenfels , the Great Enchanter , hosts a party for the ruling Noble Houses of the Reikland , and poisons them . The ruling Stürmdunkels of Bögenhafen are killed , leaving a minor branch of the family living in the Duchy of Mittlevorbergland as sole heir to one of the largest duchies in the Reikland . TIMELINE OF BÖGENHAFEN Being a summary of the major events in the history of the town of Bögenhafen and the Reikland Estate of Saponatheim . 116 117 APPENDIX 1 : A GUIDE TO BÖGENHAFEN AI House Trott disputes this , as the old duke of Bögenhafen wa s married to Duchess Gaalopé of House Trott , and she survived the Poisoned Feast . 1941–1950 IC The First Vorbergland War . House Trott of Tahme declares war on the remains of House Stürmdunkel . House Schutzenburg of Mittlevorbergland does the same . The three-sided war ends with the Treaty of Hohenwand , which formally accepts House Sturmdunkels ' , the Stürmdunkel ’ s liege-lords , claim to the Duchy of Bögenhafen . The Trotts are outraged , but the Reikland Diet supports the treaty . The Stürmdunkels are granted a barony in the newly expanded Duchy of Mittlevorbergland , which now includes Eilhart , Wheburg , Bögenhafen and all their surrounding estates . 2010–2037 IC The Second Vorbergland War . Houses Trott , Walfen , and Lüssen jointly declare themselves independent from the Prince of Reikland in the Statement of Tahme , each going to war with their neighbours to resolve old quarrels . By the end of the bloody conflict , the independent kingdoms of Mittlevorbergland ( ruled by the Trotts ) , Suden Vorbergland ( ruled by the Walfens ) , and Westen- vorbergland ( ruled by the Lüssens ) are established , with hundreds of Noble Houses , many of them created on the fly , swearing to the new Royal Houses . 2049 IC King Oberadal of Suden Vorbergland calls for aid to defend against the invading armies of Vampire Lord Vlad von Carstein . Queen Lopen of Mittlevorbergland , who now holds court in Bögenhafen , ignores these calls . 2050 IC Bögenhafen is sacked by Vlad von Carstein ’ s armies , destroying the town . The ruling Trotts retreat to Tahme and never return . 2100 IC Bögenhafen ’ s population has returned to some 3,000 souls . The surrounding duchy is now ruled by House Schutzenburg who have reclaimed their old territories . 2203 IC The Great Rift . A rift into the Realms of Chaos opens at Castle Drachenfels . For a week , Daemons walk the Vorbergland . When Bögenhafen is investigated a month later by scouts from Tahme , they find the town deserted . It seems not a soul survived , though the buildings remained untouched.2250 IC Bögenhafen ’ s population has rebounded to almost 3000 again . Although technically ruled by House Schutzenburg , the noble family is too weak and poor to collect taxes from the town . 2261 IC Bögenhafen forms a town council of important merchant houses , cult members , and guildmembers . The Town Council takes over all aspects of rulership , supported by several private armies . Jormann Teugen , a merchant of impeccable standing , is first Town Council leader . 2285 IC The first Schaffenfest is held to attract farmers to trade their livestock in the town of Bögenhafen . 2300 IC Bögenhafen ’ s population has returned to almost 7000 people . 2302 IC Magnus Bildhofen passes through Bögenhafen and appeals for aid to face the growing Chaos threat from the north . The Town Council spurns him . However , more than half of Bögenhafen ’ s private soldiers leave with Magnus anyway , convinced by his powerful rhetoric . The small Barony of Saponatheim lying to the north of Bögenhafen also commits all of its soldiers to support the upcoming war . 2303 IC Waaagh ! Zzadrag : an enormous Greenskin army invades from the south , taking advantage of the lowered defenses across the Vorbergland . Against the odds , the Orcs and Goblins suffer an extraordinary defeat at the Battle of Finsterbad . Unknown to the defending armies , Warlord Zzadrag is killed by Wilhard Kleinwald , a minor noble who is secretly a magus of Tzeentch and does not wish his plans for Bögenhafen to come to an unplanned end . 2304 IC The Treaty of Tahme : Enforced by the newly crowned Emperor Magnus I of House Bildhofen , The Treaty of Tahme formally brings all lands of the Vorbergland , including the Duchy of Bögenhafen , back under the rule of the Prince of Reikland for the first time in almost three hundred years . A new Duchy of Saponatheim is formed from the old Duchy of Bögenhafen and Barony of Saponatheim , and is given to House Saponatheim to rule in recognition of the support they provided to Magnus before the Great War Against Chaos . House Saponatheim now claims to be an ancient house , its soap-making origins forgotten during the Dark Ages before Magnus ’ s rule.2367 IC Battle for Hohenwand Hollow : Beastlord Gurkthar Gorehorn marches on Bogenhafen , but is defeated before he arrives by the Baron Abermann von Stürmdunkel , a Myrmidian and master tactician . Just 300 knights and 2000 State Soldiers defeat an enormous warherd said to number in the tens of thousands . This extraordinary victory shatters the last major force of Beastmen in the southern Reikland that had grown in the build-up to the Great War Against Chaos . 2378 IC House Saponatheim grants the Bögenhafen Town Council effective autonomy in return for increased taxes . Within 20 years , most of the merchant houses have found legal loopholes to avoid paying the higher taxes , leaving the Saponatheims significantly out of pocket . 2390 IC After long negotiations with the Bögenhafen Town Council , House Saponatheim grants one tax-free day for livestock trade during the Schaffenfest . This begins small , but soon expands significantly , with livestock trains driven halfway across the Empire to be sold in Bögenhafen tax-free . This brings many merchants to the duchy , which in turn brings a significant tax boost to House Saponatheim , even though the lost taxes from the tax-free day of Schaffenfest are arguably much higher . 2420–2422 IC Waaagh ! Grom : Greenskins sack Bögenhafen in late 2420 IC , leaving massive dung idols in their wake . They continue to plague the Vorbergland for the next decade , though the main horde moves on relatively swiftly . 2456 IC Rebuilding of Bögenhafen is largely complete , primarily financed by three Merchant Houses ( Ruggbroder , Steinhäger and Teugen ) alongside help from the Prince of Reikland . 2510 IC Johannes Teugen takes control of House Teugen , and aims to lead Bögenhafen to greatness . 117 WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY 118 AIBögenhafen is the largest town in the Vorbergland , the fertile strip of territory between the Reikwald Forest and the Grey Mountains . It is bustling and cosmopolitan , with as many merchants from Bretonnia , the Wasteland , Wissenland , Middenland and beyond as hailing from Reikland . Because of this , it is a hub of trade full to bursting with busy folk going about their business , working hard , hustling , seeking always to line their pockets and get ahead . By day the streets are packed with teeming throngs of people : Humans , Dwarfs , Halflings , and even the occasional Elf or Ogre . During Schaffenfest the town grows busier , its population massively swollen by the influx of traders , speculators , and ne ’ er do-wells , all in search of a quick score or an easy mark . Seclusion is a precious rarity , reserved only for the town ’ s wealthiest denizens , safe in the luxurious placidity of the Adel Ring . By comparison , at night when the thick mists rise from the River Bögen , the town adopts an eerie , unpleasant aspect . Tendrils of fog swirl through the alleys and avenues , shrouding all in a darkling haze . Only the very brave , or the very foolish , venture into the veiled night , and not all of those return . Nonetheless , one certainty in Bögenhafen is this : if there is a profit to be made , someone will take the risk . BÖGENHAFEN TODAY Bögenhafen has a population of about 10,000 and sits at the last point on the river Bögen where it is navigable by large , river-going vessels . The town acts as a local market centre , with goods from Altdorf , Nuln and Marienburg coming by river to be traded for local wool , wine , lead , and silver brought down from the mountains . Trade is the primary source of revenue for the town . As such , mercantile interests dominate the political life , and the real power in Bögenhafen lies in the hands of just four wealthy families : the Haagens , the Ruggbroders , the Steinhägers , and the Teugens . The town is largely independent of any noble oversight . It is governed by a Town Council , chiefly in the interests of the dominant merchant houses . The high trade tax-yield , especially during the lucrative Schaffenfest , means that Bögenhafen itself is far wealthier than its surrounding duchies , a fact that still rankles the local nobility who see very little of that coin . Inhabitants of the town are expected to pay annual taxes for owning property , with a higher duty charged for riverfront holdings , and for boats and wharves owned . Everyone who brings in goods to trade pays a levy on all merchandise . As the Schaffenfest takes place outside the town walls , it is exempt from much of this taxation , making it an especially enticing opportunity . TOWN RULERS The town lies within the boundaries of the Duchy of Saponatheim and falls under the jurisdiction of Graf Wilhelm von Saponatheim . However , the graf takes little interest in the town ’ s affairs , providing his share of the town ’ s taxes keeps flowing . He holds court at Castle Grauenberg , some 60 miles to the north , and rarely visits the town , not even maintaining any property within its walls . To all intents and purposes , Bögenhafen functions as a freistadt and the Town Council is the highest authority . The ToWn CounCil The council meets once a month , barring any pressing matters requiring an extraordinary meeting . It has 15 seats . 0Eight seats belong to the Merchants ’ Guild : one for the Guildmaster ( currently Johannes Teugen ) , one for each of the four main mercantile families , and the other three occupied in rotation by representatives of lesser mercantile concerns ( currently including Friederich Magirius ) . 0Five seats are occupied by the heads of other prominent guilds : the Physicians ’ , Tailors ’ and Weavers ’ , Teamsters ’ , Stevedores ’ , and Mourners ’ Guilds ( the holder of the latter seat is currently also the local priestess of Morr ) . 0One seat is reserved for a representative of one of Bögenhafen ’ s Craft Guilds . This honour rotates through the heads of the Cartwrights ’ , Carpenters ’ , Jewellers ’ , Metalworkers ’ and Masons ’ Guilds . 0The final seat is filled by the highest-ranking priest of Sigmar in Bögenhafen , currently Ludo Edel . In addition to the voting council members , the Chief Magistrate ( currently Heinz Richter ) sits on the council , but by tradition has no vote . Other town luminaries are invited , or summoned , to testify , offer counsel , and lobby the voting members . In particular , priests of other cults often speak in council when matters pertain to their faith . Most notably , the ranking Verenan routinely offers legal advice ( which frequently contradicts that of the Chief Magistrate ) , while the High Priestess of Shallya APPENDIX 1 A GUIDE TO BÖGENHAFEN ‘ Bögenhafen is changing for the better . Mark my words . Our success will not just make Bögenhafen rich , it will make everyone rich. ’ – Johannes Teugen , Bögenhafen Merchant Prince 119 APPENDIX 1 : A GUIDE TO BÖGENHAFEN AIregularly petitions the councillors on behalf of the poor . Officers of the Watch are often present when public order is under scrutiny , or complaints are lodged about the behaviour of the Watch . Their steely-eyed , stone-faced presence at such meetings generally serves to intimidate most complainants , meaning few citizens bother reporting corrupt watchmen , choosing instead to pay their bribes and keep their heads down . Given their majority control of the council , should the Merchants ’ Guild be united in their interests ( which they usually are , should they stand to make a profit ) they are the de facto rulers of Bögenhafen . By traditional precedent , the Chair of the Council is always a representative of the Merchants ’ Guild , though not necessarily the Guildmaster . The guilds As is common in the Reikland , the guilds of Bögenhafen have an almost total monopoly of the labour market in the trades with which they are concerned . Guild membership is compulsory in most cases for anyone wishing to ply their trade in the town . When a large job needs to be undertaken , generally one commissioned by the Town Council - another guild , the local nobility , or one of the four great merchant families - tradition dictates that such work must be arranged through the guild , and not directly with the craftsfolk . The guild negotiates the fee for the job and the cost of materials , and then allocates the share of the workload , and share of the fee , to the individuals undertaking it . The Merchants ’ Guild is by far the most prominent of Bögenhafen ’ s guilds ( see page 128 ) , and it is dominated by the four principal mercantile houses of the town . Competition from traders outside of the the guild is not tolerated , but members are more or less free to conduct their business as they see fit . Guild membership is not cheap , but is a prerequisite for the lucrative trading opportunities on offer in Bögenhafen . The main function of the litigious Physicians ’ Guild ( see page 135 ) is to defend its members from legal suits , and to prosecute charlatans ( or unlicenced physicians ) . Any person found practising medicine in Bögenhafen who is not a guild member is liable to instant arrest on charges of assault and attempted murder ; the patient is not permitted to speak on behalf of the accused , and the guild has a standing reward for information leading to such an arrest . There are several surgeons in Bögenhafen , as an enquiry at the guild headquarters will discover.The Mourners ’ Guild ( see page 129 ) is a religious organisation dedicated to the Cult of Morr . It is responsible for organising funerals and seeing to the upkeep of the Garden of Morr ( see page 137 ) , paid for through the funeral arrangement fees . It also supervises the construction of tombs and other monuments in the Garden , subcontracting the work via the Masons ’ Guild . Anyone conducting a funeral or disposing of a body without the supervision of the Mourners ’ Guild risks arrest on charges of bodysnatching or necromancy . As with the Physicians ’ Guild , there is a standing reward for information leading to the arrest of such miscreants . The guilds are engaged in constant internecine conflicts and bickering over perceived slights and marginal increases in profits . Generally speaking , the Teamsters ’ Guild tends to side with the craft guilds , the Physicians ’ Guild and Tailors ’ and Weavers ’ Guilds normally support the Merchants ’ Guild , and the Stevedores ’ Guild always votes against the Teamsters . The merChanT houses There are four notable merchant houses in Bögenhafen : Haagen , Ruggbroder , Steinhäger , and Teugen . In addition , there are many smaller mercantile concerns struggling to eke out an existence , but nearly all long-distance trade is conducted by the four great families . All of the great houses have family homes in the ostentatious luxury of the Adel Ring ( see page 120 ) , with separate offices elsewhere in Bögenhafen . Haagen The Haagen family are Wastelanders , with several trading contacts in Marienburg . They are Bögenhafen ’ s main dealers in luxury goods . Jochen Haagen is head of the family . Since the bulk of their trade is by river , the Haagens are closely allied to the Stevedores ’ Guild , and they maintain their own small fleet of sailing barges . They own a wharf ( see page 127 ) , five adjoining warehouses , and a suite of offices on the Bergstrasse . Ruggbroder The Ruggbroder family deal mainly in grain and other farm produce , bringing it into Bögenhafen in exchange for cloth and metal goods produced in the town itself . Heironymus Ruggbroder is the family head , who maintains a firm hold on the reins of the business despite being well into his seventies . They used to have a virtual monopoly on trade with Helmgart and Bretonnia , but are now in competition with the Teugens in that direction . Haagen Ruggbroder Steinhäger Teugen WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY 120 AIThey own several warehouses along the Ostendamm , but do not actively involve themselves in river shipping , using the barges and crews of their suppliers or small independent operators instead . House Ruggbroder has close connections with the Teamsters ’ Guild , as it is Bögenhafen ’ s largest employer of carters and muleteers . It is the smallest of the four great merchant families , and it has the closest connections with the lesser traders of the town . Steinhäger The Steinhäger family has a number of Dwarf and mining contacts . It concentrates mainly on the distribution of goods from Altdorf , Nuln , and Marienburg to the communities along the edges of the Grey Mountains , in exchange for furs , metals , and other produce . Franz Steinhäger is head of the family , and is assisted by his brother Heinrich . They own a wharf and several warehouses , and they maintain offices near those of the Teugen family , behind the Merchants ’ Guild . Teugen The Teugen family is one of the oldest families in Bögenhafen . It is effectively the nobility of the town . It has never actually held any titles , but the family is on friendly terms with many of the noble houses of the Reikland . They own wharves on both banks of the river , as well as many of the warehouses along the Ostendamm and the Westendamm , and a suite of offices in a small square behind the Merchants ’ Guild . The family had been suffering a sharp decline in its fortunes over the last 20 years or so , but this was drastically reversed by the arrival of Johannes Teugen from the university of Nuln . Johannes returned to Bögenhafen following the death of his older brother , Karl . He has remained in town as the head of the family , and has overseen his house ’ s dramatic return to its former glory ( see page 112 ) . The Teugen family conducts trade by road and river to all parts of the Empire . Johannes ’ s contacts in Nuln give him access to timber and other produce from Stirland and Averland . He has also opened up trade in brandy and metals through Helmgart and the Axebite Pass to Bretonnia . Moreover , he has also been steadily eroding the Haagen family ’ s trade with Marienburg . BÖGENHAFEN : A VISITOR ’ S GUIDE ‘ The streets are paved with gold . Gold . That ’ s what they said in Fiehlstadt , and that ’ s why I came ’ ere . Well , I don ’ t know what I just trod in , but it sure ain ’ t gold ! ’ – Wilbur Wohnacht , Failed Merchant Bögenhafen is a town that thrives on trade . Commerce has seeped into the very cobbles of its thoroughfares , and the streets teem with traders , merchants , and hustlers , all out to make a quick profit . Many a Reiklander comes to Bögenhafen in search of riches , hoping to make their fortune , little realising that the game is rigged in favour of the wealthy merchant houses that dominate the town ’ s economic , political , and social landscape.The town ’ s central and mercantile districts are welcoming to visitors , especially during Schaffenfest , and anyone new to the town will struggle to walk 10ft without someone offering sales and services . Anyone spending cash freely soon finds themselves a target for those with less fortune , and will struggle to shake their train of ardent followers , each swearing they know the best deals to be had . Still , there are opportunities aplenty in Bögenhafen for those with the will , and the lack of scruples , necessary to turn a profit . Merchants need labourers and guards . The wealthy need servants , and craftspeople . And if you ’ re willing to risk life and limb , almost anything is possible . The locations below have adventure hooks in bullets , for you to draw on as you see fit . The adel ring Set around the lush Saponatheim Gardens , the Adel Ring is Bögenhafen ’ s most exclusive district , and is where all of its wealthiest citizens have their homes . The mansions of the great and good of the town , each with their own private grounds , form three sides of the ring . The fourth is composed of luxurious terraced townhouses , where the relatively less affluent merchants , artisans , and minor nobility reside . The gates and doors are clearly marked with the symbols of the owning families ; the better to ensure all can see how gaudily ostentatious one ’ s home is , and therefore how sickeningly wealthy one is . Given the nature of the homes in the district , there is a near-constant Watch presence here , and the patrols are quick to approach anyone acting suspiciously or who clearly does not belong . Haagen Herenhuis The Haagen family mansion is stately and reserved . Its walled gardens feature delicately intricate topiary and numerous gas- powered lamps , enabling its owners to take the night air in style . Of course , given Bögenhafen ’ s frequent misty nights , the lamps tend to lend the grounds an eerie , less benign air . The dark stone house itself is two storeys high , with a collonaded single- storey entrance hall jutting from the middle . Atop this edifice sits a gilded galleon , bearing the symbol of House Haagen : a Griffon ’ s head over three coins . Jochen Haagen is the head of the family , a sober , shrewd businessman with a fine eye for luxuries and detail . His wife Maria is one of Bögenhafen ’ s most celebrated hostesses , and regularly organises dinners , parties , and salons . Despite the success of these soirees , Haagen remains something of an outsider , albeit a wealthy one , within the Merchants ’ Guild . Jochen ’ s interest in the Ordo Septenarius has been politely rebuffed . The Haagens ’ daughter , Jutte , is studying at the University of Marienburg . Jochen has three brothers : Pieter , Gherijt , and Kasijn . Pieter , the youngest , is at university in Nuln , while Gherijt and Kasijn travel the Empire securing contracts and overseeing Haagen business holdings . 0The Haagens deal in luxuries , and rumour has it many of those luxuries can be found in their mansion . When the Characters overhear a plan to rob the Haagen house one night , they could warn Haagen in the hope of securing a reward , or break in themselves first hoping to secure even greater riches . 121 APPENDIX 1 : A GUIDE TO BÖGENHAFEN AI 0In addition to the Haagen symbol , the gilded galleon atop the Haagen mansion bears a figurehead in the shape of a mermaid , clutching a purse , the symbol of Marienburg . This not-so-subtle reminder of the Haagen family ’ s roots is the source of much disgruntlement amongst older families with longer , more local histories . Rumour has it that House Teugen will pay handsomely for someone to steal the figurehead , and deliver it . Should the Characters do so , they quickly discover they have been misled and , if they are not careful , they may be jailed . Kleinwald Manor This house bears an air of genteel neglect , befitting the status of its owners . Its gardens are lush , if somewhat unkempt , and while its facade is lined with large , expensive windows of glass imported from Marienburg , they have not been cleaned in some time . Little traffic graces the house ’ s front entrance , though the rear passage is busier , as servants bustle in and out at all times . Laurenz and Leota Kleinwald , the rulers of the County of Kleinwald , a small region on the eastern border of the Duchy of Saponatheim , own the neglected manor . The Kleinwald twins are cousins of Ubersreik ’ s infamous Bruner family . They are rarely present in their Bögenhafen manor house , let alone their backwater holdings in the sticks . When possible , they visit various relatives at court in Altdorf , or in various other towns , cities , and mansions of the Empire , in their never-ending pursuit of a good time . 0While their master and mistress are away , the servants like to play . Stimms , the butler , runs a small gambling house for the domestic staff of the other houses on the Ring . He and his peers take great pleasure in reclining on the Kleinwalds ’ furniture , drinking their wine and mocking their name . Eventually his luck runs out , and Lowhaven thugs trash the manor in revenge for ‘ lost revenue ’ , as Stimms hasn ’ t been paying a cut to the Halflings . When word arrives the next morning that the Kleinwalds return to Bögenhafen within hours , Stimms turns to the Characters to help repair the house , delay his master and mistress , or come up with a better plan to save his skin ! 0The Kleinwalds decide to host a party and invite the Characters , having heard about their exploits . Once they have them in their house , the twins attempt to seduce or manipulate each of the PCs in an attempt to play them against one another . Whomever goads one into violence towards their peers wins the bet , and the right to bed any and all of the Characters . Should the party grow wise to the ‘ game ’ , it is ejected with little ceremony.Magirius ’ s Townhouse Friedrich Magirius ’ s three-storey house is one of the terraced townhouses on the Adel Ring . The entrance is notable with a heavy wooden front door with distinctive brass knocker fashioned in the shape of a bunch of grapes . Three wide stone steps lead to the front door , flanked by two quaint potted plants . The front of his house is neat and well maintained , and a warm glow shines from the windows as if inviting passersby in to take the time of day . Magirius primarily trades in wine and brandy . He is a tall , elderly bachelor who lives alone , save for his house servant , Klaus . His estranged wife and daughter currently reside in Wheburg , much to Magirius ’ s shame . He maintains small offices at both the Merchants ’ Guild and the Town Hall , where he diligently applies himself to doing good . The epitome of the benign philanthropist , he is as savvy as he is compassionate . He personally organises donations on behalf of the Ordo Septenarius for the soup kitchen attached to the Shallyan Mercyhouse in the Pit . Nevertheless , Magirius enjoys the luxury his wealth and status affords him , and he regularly dines at The Golden Trout ( see page 128 ) . 0Friedrich ’ s relationship with Klaus has been the source of much good-natured speculation amongst his friends at the Merchants ’ Guild . In truth , Klaus is Friedrich ’ s illegitimate half-brother , the son of his father and his former housekeeper , Kathe ( who shared the truth of Klaus with Magirius on her deathbed ) . Klaus has no idea of their relationship , nor that he stands to inherit the house and Magirius ’ s business , should Friedrich and his daughter die . 0Magirius is good friends with Doktor Fördern of the Physicians ’ Guild . When he learns that his friend is a hedge witch , he is shaken to his core , and does not leave his house for a number of days . He asks the Characters to follow his friend , to ensure he is not up to anything ‘ immoral ’ . Should they follow the doktor , they will see nothing suspicious , but their actions may inadvertently draw the attention of witch hunter Fabergus Heinzdork who is in town on the lookout for witches to burn . Ruggbroder House Ruggbroder House is past its prime , just like its owner . Heironymus Ruggbroder is well into his 70s , though still in possession of all of his faculties . The house ’ s paintwork is somewhat faded , and the gardens are far from fashionable , though well-maintained . The Ruggbroder symbol , a sheaf of wheat in a mailed fist , is not only engraved on the gate posts to the house , but also worked into numerous pieces of topiary visible from the street , a gesture regarded by most of the town ’ s wealthy as somewhat tasteless . Heironymus is rarely seen out of doors . He conducts his business from home , eschewing his office in the Merchants ’ Guild and his family offices alike . The majority of his affairs can be conducted by letter , or through the use of an intermediary , and he almost never admits visitors who are unknown to him . Ruggbroder has only one son , Gosbert , who currently resides in Bechafen , as far from his tyrannical father as possible . OH BROTHER , WHERE ART THOU ? When the party arrives at Magirius ’ s house , as part of Shadows Over Bögenhafen , Klaus is not around . He is most likely out purchasing supplies . Alternatively , he could also have been killed by Gideon , should you wish to increase the violent horror of the scene . However , it may prove more powerful should he survive , allowing the Characters to be present when Klaus discovers his relationship to Magirius . But only after they were unable to save his life . WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY 122 AI 0Ruggbroder ’ s chief clerk , Clotilda Kundicht , is the most common ‘ face ’ of the business . Clotilda serves as her master ’ s proxy when necessary , and spends almost every hour in the Ruggbroder offices carrying out Hieronymous ’ s orders , which he sends by letter , daily . Ruggbroder denied her a leave of absence to attend her sister ’ s funeral in Trosreut , but she really wants to go . The journey there and back should take no more than a week : can the Characters cover for her ? 0Rumours begin to spread that Ruggbroder is dead , and that he died some weeks earlier . The truth is that he suffered a stroke , and lingers in a barely conscious state . His valet , Meinrad , is hiding this fact , forging his master ’ s signature , in order to fleece as much money as possible from the estate before it all goes to Gosbert . When Kundicht suspects the handwriting on her latest missive may be a forgery , she disappears , leaving the Characters with a mystery to solve , in a house to which they can not gain ( legal ) access . Saponatheim Gardens This grand park occupies the centre of the Adel Ring . It is secured behind a high , wrought-iron fence , with four locked gates ( one at each point of the compass ) . Homeowners in the Ring receive a key to the gardens , and it is a point of principle that the gates remain locked when not in use , the better to prevent the riff-raff from gaining entrance . Past the fence , and the high hedges that run parallel to the barrier , lies a beautifully idyllic , pastoral scene . A grand fountain , complete with a bronze statue of Bögenauer , sits in the centre , reached by a branching network of meandering , gravel walkways in amongst the lush grass and many great , broad trees . Upkeep of the park is paid for by a subscription from the Adel Ring ’ s homeowners . While the fee is low , many residents overpay , the better to demonstrate their affluence . As a result , the park bears a high number of benches and memorial gardens , bearing plaques depicting the family crests of many of Bögenhafen ’ s wealthier citizens . 0An irate , and surprisingly literate , agitator , Franz Durchwatternen , is outraged at the wealthy ’ s appropriation of the gardens . He has combed through the town records and discovered that the land on which the Saponatheim Gardens are situated was bequeathed by the Saponatheims to ‘ the people of Bögenhafen in perpetuity ’ , and thus should be open to all . As he leads an angry mob to the Adel Ring , the Characters can defend the park with the Watch , attempt to defuse the situation , or join Durchwatternen in glorious revolution ! 0When the waters of the fountain run red as blood , most in Bögenhafen take it as an ill omen , perhaps presaging some great river-borne disaster for the town . Should the Characters investigate , they will discover it was the work of a consortium of merchants from Kemperbad , keen to damage faith in Bögenhafen and drive trade their way . Saponatheim Castle Saponatheim ‘ Castle ’ is anything but . The mansion was modified by the Graf ’ s grandfather , with artificial cladding in the form of crenelations and arrow slits added with scant regard for how dark it makes the rooms and how much it restricts the view . The architects even added a portcullis and drawbridge , though the former is rarely lowered , and the latter never raised . The house remains empty for much of the year , as Graf Wilhelm von Saponatheim seldom deigns to visit Bögenhafen . He turns a blind eye to the unfettered rule of commerce in the town . Any attempt to curb the guilds ’ influence would , he knows , result in civil strife and a disruption to his finances , which he can scarce afford in these troubled times . Despite this pragmatic realisation , Graf Wilhelm resents the ‘ upstart money grubbers ’ ( and his dependency upon them ) and avoids the town whenever possible . 0The graf ’ s cousin , Lord Siegfried von Saponatheim , makes a rare and unannounced visit to his cousin ’ s estate , arriving in an elaborate coach surrounded by a bustling entourage of servants and guards . Once settled in , he sends a note to the Characters , inviting them to visit . Somehow , they have come to his attention , and he requires their services to locate a certain apothecary of negotiable morals who is hiding somewhere in Bögenhafen , as there is a particular ‘ emetic ’ powder he wishes to purchase . 123 APPENDIX 1 : A GUIDE TO BÖGENHAFEN AI 0When the Graf ’ s young nephew , Magnus ( see page 30 ) , comes to inspect the State Army troops , there is widespread panic amongst the Watch , especially on the part of Captain Goertrin . Lieutenant Brotte needs the party ’ s help to gain access to Lord von Saponatheim , while the Captain rewards anyone who delays her long enough for him to completely discredit her before she does the same to him . The Steinhäger Mansion The estate belonging to the Steinhäger family lies on the western side of the Adel Ring . The building is an unusual mish-mash of different architectural styles , having been expanded repeatedly over many decades . Even now , builders ( contracted through the Masons ’ Guild , of course ) are working on an extension , a new wing containing a planned library , sleeping chambers , and a rooftop terrace . The Steinhägers are one of Bögenhafen ’ s more prolific merchant families , led by Franz Steinhäger , assisted by his brother , Heinrich , and his son , Albrecht . Heinrich bitterly resents being two years younger than Franz . He is utterly convinced the family would be more successful were he the eldest . This frustration is only compounded by Franz ’ s increased reliance on Albrecht , who is only 17 years old . Heinrich suspects this isn ’ t an intentional slight , but knowing this doesn ’ t lessen its sting . 0Heinrich has been actively working against his elder brother ’ s interests . He has made contact with a Marcus Schultz , seemingly a merchant in Altdorf who claims to be part of a clandestine group of smaller merchants keen to form a Reikland-based mercantile consortium , the largest consolidated fiscal power in the Empire . In truth , Schultz is an agent of Altdorf ’ s Black Chamber , keeping tabs on subversive elements within the Empire . He plans to blackmail Heinrich in order to use him as an intelligence source . When Heinrich realises he has been played , he pays the Characters handsomely to find Schultz ’ s contact in Bögenhafen ( Odelina Landau ) and retrieve the evidence . 0Franz paid a mason from Nuln to construct the secret entrance to the sewers from his offices . When the Masons ’ Guild hears a rumour of a non-guild-affiliated contract , they task the Characters to find evidence , which can only be found in Franz ’ s personal chambers within the mansion . Teugen House Secure behind 15-ft-high walls , topped with iron spikes , the Teugen House is one of the safest places in Bögenhafen , assuming you are Johannes Teugen . By day , the tall metal gate lies open , and visitors are welcome , but when the sun sets the gates are locked and guards , accompanied by large and vicious dogs , patrol . In addition to his numerous guards and staff , Teugen lives with his cousin , Gideon . Some say Gideon is a slender youth who returned with Teugen from Nuln , following the death of Teugen ’ s older brother , Karl . However , others believe Gideon must be a child as Teugen has recently been seen accompanied by a smaller figure . Whatever the truth , since Teugen ’ s return he has rekindled the success of his family , leading many in Bögenhafen to whisper that perhaps Karl ’ s death was a blessing from the gods . 0Of late , Teugen ’ s neighbours have begun to notice eerie occurrences : mysterious lights , strange voices , uncanny chills , and shrieking nightmares . When Oskar Unterhelm , who lives in a townhouse facing Teugen ’ s manor , dies overnight seemingly of shock , town gossips whisper that he was some sort of witch . His hair turned a bright , cerulean blue and his lips a shocking , vibrant pink . His partner , distraught , turns to the Characters to clear his legacy . 0Rumour has it that Johannes ’ s brother died of some rare and virulent disease , known as Purple Brain Fever . An apothecary in the Pit is willing to pay silver for anyone who breaks into Teugen ’ s house and collects Karl ’ s bedding in the hope that the disease is still active even after all this time . Of course , what the Characters don ’ t realise is that the apothecary is really Gideon , the shape- shifting daemon , playing an elaborate prank on the party with the intention of infecting one or more of them with the disease . alTsTadT Altstadt , the oldest part of Bögenhafen , is home to the town ’ s lower-class citizens . The streets are unpaved and churned to mud . The taverns are cheap and nasty with low ceilings and smoky atmospheres . During the day , the district is packed with labourers and the poor , though the crowds hide numerous pick-pockets , beggars , and footpads . By night , the streets are patrolled intermittently by the Watch , albeit in double-strength patrols , so serious crimes are rare . Cartwrights ’ Guild The most influential of Bögenhafen ’ s craft guilds , the Cartwrights ’ Guild maintains friendly relations with the Teamsters ’ Guild , given their mutual interests , and generally follows their lead in political matters . The guildhouse lies on a quiet backstreet , above the workshop of current guildmaster , Johan Wachter . A gold-painted wagon-wheel hangs above the wide , double doors , which are generally cast wide open during the day , releasing the heat of hard labour and clouds of sawdust . Wachter has been guildmaster for over 20 years now . He has maintained strong relationships with the town ’ s other cartwrights , as well as the guildmasters of the other craft guilds , especially the Carpenters ’ Guild , largely by eschewing politics . Rather , he concentrates on working hard , producing quality goods , and always maintaining a scrupulous veneer of politeness . 0Unknown to all , Wachter is manufacturing secret compartments into his wagons to aid smuggling of illicit goods and people past the town walls . When one of his wagons is used to smuggle blackpowder into Bretonnia , he fears reprisals . He wishes to shift the blame , and will pay the PCs to testify against his apprentice , Olli , in court . WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY 124 AI 0When cartwright Klaus Kenwurt ’ s workshop is infested by Knirschenkäfer ( a wood-eating beetle ) he is forced to burn everything to eradicate the insects , ruining his livelihood . Guildmaster Wachter hires the PCs to investigate , suspecting an act of professional sabotage . Should the PCs follow the clues , they discover Kenwurt ’ s partner is the source of his ruination . He has an obsession with decay and he has already fallen to Nurgle , the Chaos God of Decay . To eliminate their rivals , he has hidden Knirschenkäfer in a number of other workshops around the town . The infestation of Kenwurt 's own workshop was an accident as some of the beetles escaped . The Half-Measure Tavern At all hours of the day , hoots of raucous laughter as well as cheers and groans of dismay can be heard emanating from the Half-Measure . Entering through the low , wide door ( ducking if you are over 4ft tall ) , you are greeted by the sight of dozens of Halflings , and almost as many Humans , merrily quaffing drinks and playing dozens of pub games , such as Beast , Bowling , Dwile Flonking and Scarlet Empress . ( For more on these games , see Rough Nights & Hard Days . ) Foxglove ‘ Foxy ’ Shortbottom is the landlady of the Half- Measure . An especially garrulous woman , even by Halfling standards , she personally welcomes in all visitors , ensuring everyone is having a good time . Gambling is not tightly regulated in Bögenhafen ( providing taxes are paid , of course ) and so at any time a lot of money is changing hands in the Half-Measure . 0 The Half-Measure is a front for the local Lowhavens , lead by Philophiloradei ‘ Lori ’ Lowhaven , a particularly ruthless Halfling . Lori was attracted to the rampant greed on display in Bögenhafen , but finds the process of paying taxes , and the competition afforded by other legitimate gambling operations , deeply frustrating . Should the Characters have any pull with the Town Council , she would appreciate their help getting gambling outlawed , the better to drive up her clandestine revenues . 0When the Characters have a run of bad luck gambling , Foxy offers to waive their marker if they do her a little favour . Albrecht Steinhäger is in , playing cards for high stakes . Unfortunately , the young man is not very good , and has lost almost all of his funds . All the party needs to do is join the game and throw a few hands , subtly , to convince Steinhäger his luck is hot , before the Lowhavens ’ man , a charming dandy with a Bretonnian accent , takes him for every penny he has . Stevedores ’ Guild The Stevedores ’ Guild occupies a large , heavily timbered building on the Hafenstrasse , opposite the Teamsters ’ Guild . All dock workers in Bögenhafen are , by law , members of the Stevedores ’ Guild . The ground floor of the guildhouse comprises a large meeting hall . Complex bylaws restricting the licensing of taverns means they can not serve ale or beer . Instead , a range of strong liquors and spirits are available behind the rough-hewn wooden bar , many of them imported , such as brandy from Bretonnia , gin from Marienburg , and kvas from Kislev , in addition to locally distilled moonshine . The guild building itself is split into several small decorated chambers and halls , with one put aside for each major gang of Stevedores . Each gang specialises in porting ( carrying ) a different kind of stock , and some take significant skill to correctly manage . Deal Porters , those who deal with wood , use very different unpacking , carrying , and packing techniques to fish porters , or a grain porters . Each gang wears different coloured hats for easy identification . Guildmaster Gurney Dumkopf is a hulking brute of a man with a background in wine porting . He can usually be found propping up the bar in the guildhouse , holding court amongst his favourites , while his whistle-carrying foremen handle the day-to-day business of work schedules and contracts for each of the gangs . Dumkopf ’ s chief concern is his guild ’ s status . Even the rumour of anyone unloading their own boats without the use of licensed guild members results in Dumkopf leading a gaggle of half-drunk dockers to ‘ sort ’ em out ’ . This has landed the huge man in trouble with the Watch many times for beating up innocent visiting merchants , but Dumkopf could not care less if he tried . After all , he has long had very close ties to the Merchants ’ Guild , and House Teugen in particular , so he always managed to avoid anything but a slap on the wrist and a minor fine . 0Beyond defending the guild ’ s monopoly , Dumkopf ’ s stevedores act as hired muscle for anyone who can pay , except for the Teamsters , of course . Lucius Schwapp , a merchant trading in pottery , used them to rough up a rival , but fearing prosecution he solicits the Characters to break into the guildhouse to destroy any evidence of the transaction . Unfortunately , the only record is in Dumkopf ’ s head… 0The stevedores ’ racketeers have been infiltrated by a secretive cult of Khorne , the Blood God . The Bloody Nose meet irregularly , when Morrslieb is full , to pummel one another until blood streams from their face , under the strict prohibition of telling anyone about the cult ’ s existence , or their activities . Should the party get involved in any fist-fights , they may inadvertently find themselves part of a ritual gathering . PROBATED BREATH Following the events of Shadows Over Bögenhafen , it is likely several important families are dishonoured or in disarray . Indeed , a number of them may have lost their head of house . As such , there is every chance that these properties may be the source of much legal wrangling , or that other households — wealthy merchants , or politically active nobles — may have taken ownership , keen to exploit the power vacuum left behind following the fall of the Ordo Septenarius . 125 APPENDIX 1 : A GUIDE TO BÖGENHAFEN AITeamsters ’ Guild Situated directly across the Hafenstrasse from their bitter rivals , the Stevedores ’ Guild , the red-and-black-decorated Teamsters ’ guildhouse is a sprawling series of once-separate wooden buildings , subsequently bought and connected by the guild . There is a small office , where the Guildmaster works , and a large dining hall where members of the guild are guaranteed generous portions of food , which are reasonably priced ( and not entirely devoid of flavour ) . Guildmaster Bengt Schwegel is a devout Sigmarite , and an ardent supporter of the temperance movement . As such , no alcohol is available in the guildhouse , though no self-respecting teamster would leave home without a hipflask . Schwegel ’ s guild deals with all matters connected with merchant caravans and the transport of goods overland . Given the considerable rivalry between the Teamsters ’ Guild and the Stevedores ’ Guild , street fighting between the rank-and-file members is not uncommon . 0Someone is trying to stir up the already considerable tension that exists between the Teamsters ’ Guild and the Stevedores ’ Guild . Both guildhouses have been daubed with offensive slogans , and while each guildmaster blames the other , even a cursory investigation reveals that a faction of Lowhaven Halflings is behind the insults ( as none of the graffiti is higher than 4ft above the ground ) . The Lowhavens are keen to exploit the chaos , to muscle in on the work of both guilds . 0Mutant attacks on road traffic are increasing , in frequency as well as severity . The town ’ s road wardens can not be spared to investigate , given the high volume of visitors present for the Schaffenfest , so Guildmaster Schwegel approaches the Characters to track down any bandits and deal with them . Should they successfully locate the camp , they discover the bandits are escaped Bretonnian peasants using crude mutant disguises to hide their identity and cow their targets . The arTisan QuarTer This quarter is bounded roughly by the Handwerker Bahn , the Eisen Bahn , and the Göttenplatz . The buildings in this area vary from small , unpretentious workshops to the elaborate , ostentatious dwellings of master craftsmen . The inns are of average quality , and most are patronised by one particular profession of artisan , such as The Chisel and Saw , frequented by carpenters , and The Well Roughed Urn , popular with illiterate potters . The Artisan Quarter is teeming with people visiting the various workshops : ordinary townsfolk looking for a new chair , kitchen knife , or whatever ; servants from the wealthier households about the same business ; apprentices sent out by their masters to get materials and equipment ; and parents seeking to apprentice their offspring to the various craftsmen . This district is also a favourite haunt of beggars and thieves , since a great deal of money changes hands here.Carpenters ’ Guild The frontage of the Carpenters ’ Guild consists of hundreds of planks of wood , from different trees and with various grains and finishes . Tradition holds that when an apprentice graduates , receiving their journeyman ’ s licence , they hew and plane a new plank or beam for the guildhouse ’ s frontage . When older planks need to be removed , these are treated as treasured relics of the guild and used by master craftsmen in their finest pieces . The guild is currently without a guildmaster . Its former leader , Reine Fasht , passed away last month . Guild business is being overseen by Fasht ’ s nephew , Holtz , while the town ’ s master carpenters politic and squabble over who should replace her as master . This is not through any ambition on their part . Rather , nobody wants the job . 0A shipment of rare Bloodpine wood is available at a reduced price , following the death of a local timber merchant . While the Merchants ’ Guild is keen to sell the wood elsewhere for a healthy profit , the Carpenters ’ Guild wants the timber for its members , to make custom furniture and establish Bögenhafen as a centre for such exotic woodwork . Lacking a Guildmaster to lobby on their behalf , the guild turns to the Characters for help . 0While historical relationships between the Carpenters ’ and Cartwrights ’ Guilds have been strong , the Cartwrights ’ Guildmaster , Johan Wachter , sees the leadership vacuum and is keen to merge the two guilds for all wood-workers ’ benefit ( and to take full advantage of the Carpenters ’ Guild ’ s superior location ) . However , he needs the support of the majority of the town ’ s master carpenters , as well as the Merchants ’ Guild , to secure the arrangement . Should the Characters be in a position to help , he will pay them handsomely . Metalworkers ’ Guild The Metalworkers ’ Guild is a tall , narrow building situated on the Eisen Bahn , not far from the Carpenters ’ Guild . Its facade bears an intricately wrought iron sculpture of a Griffon , the work of Guildmaster Davrich Schweisser . On ascension to the position , new guildmasters vie to produce the finest metalwork they can , displaying their work as an emblem of the guild ’ s skill . This does mean that smiths working in precious metals rarely achieve the exalted position . Within the guildhouse lie a series of offices and clerks . No workshops are on-site , as the smoke , heat and incessant banging of a metalworker ’ s shop are not conducive to sensitive business meetings . Schweisser is a shrewd leader , and on friendly terms with the Merchants ’ Guild , upon whom his members rely for ores and metal shipments . He has recently secured a contract to provide the chainmail for the State Army regiments of the Duchy of Saponatheim ( including the Town Watch ) , which will bring a significant amount of money to the smiths of Bögenhafen . WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY 126 AI 0Keen to further expand Bögenhafen ’ s reputation as a centre for metalworking excellence , Schweisser is in negotiation with a consortium of manufacturers from Nuln about securing the means to produce handguns . He knows that the Graf ’ s favourite regiment , the Reikland 118th Regiment of Foot ( ‘ The Greenbacks ’ ) uses handguns . He sees this as a sure-fire way to earn the Graf ’ s favour ( and even more money ) . Agents of the Oldenhaller family , also from Nuln , employ the Characters to ensure this does not happen by any means necessary . 0One of the guild ’ s members , Terrell Schwermann , is a Journeyman Alchemist of the Gold Order . Keen to keep his wizardly ways hidden from his peers , he asks the Characters to convey a message to his sister , Trude . She is a shaman of the Amber Order , who is expecting Terrell to meet her in the woods beyond Ardlich . When the Characters arrive , they blunder into a trap set by rogue witchhunters , keen to eradicate all wizards from the Reikland . Whether the Characters survive the assault , and whether they turn on their employer , remains to be seen . Masons ’ Guild The imposing Masons ’ Guild is clad in sparkling-white marble , veined through with streaks of red and blue . Its grandeur has led to its nickname of ‘ Little Altdorf ’ . Within , the building is intricately carved , and visitors ’ footsteps echo through the large , empty chambers with high ceilings . This lends the interior an unsettling , almost funereal air of awkward reverence . Kristof Ritter and Robb Tief-Haufen are the joint Guildmasters of the Masons ’ Guild . The two men share the administrative load between them , allowing them both the time to maintain their own , thriving , businesses too . When it is the Masons ’ turn to sit on the Town Council , Ritter and Tief-Haufen alternate , always ensuring they have briefed one another thoroughly beforehand . They are on especially good terms with the Carpenters ’ Guild , who provide them with the scaffolding needed for their stonework . 0Okri Brondason , a Dwarf mason , has recently arrived in Bögenhafen , looking for work . As a Dwarf , he feels he should be exempt from Human laws , and thus does not require a guild licence . The Guildmasters respectfully disagree . Ritter and Tief-Haufen hire the Characters to convince Brondason to purchase a licence , without causing a diplomatic incident . 0Albrecht Hecht , a street preacher and part-time flagellant , convinces the Characters to investigate the Masons ’ Guild , adamant that it is the front for a secret cult of the ruinous powers , conducting rituals in a profane dark tongue in the guildhouse ’ s echoing chambers at night . In truth , the Guild does conduct rituals at night , but these are innocent in nature , mimicking Dwarfish Ancestor-Worship , and conducted in cod-Khazalid . However , should word of these activities spread , it is likely that witchhunters , or an ardent mob , may leap to the wrong conclusion.bögenseiTe Bögenhafen ’ s docklands sprawl on either bank of the River Bögen , encompassing the Westendamm ( the northwestern bank ) and the Ostendamm ( the southeastern bank ) . The majority of buildings on both sides are warehouses and storage facilities , usually under the protection of a hired guard and a vicious dog or two . The warehouses are nearly all wooden : numbered from 1 to 58 , starting from the western end of the Ostendamm . By day , Bögenseite , or ‘ the Docks ’ as it ’ s commonly known , is packed with stevedores busily loading and unloading boats and moving goods in and out of warehouses . There are also the masters and crews of any barges that have recently arrived , and scribes and other lackeys of the various merchant families overseeing the transfer of goods , as well as the occasional exciseman assessing an incoming cargo for tax . At night , the dock areas are virtually deserted . Even thieves are rare , since warehouse security is generally robust and Watch patrols are regular . Kringler ’ s Ferry Unless you own your own boat ( or are a very strong swimmer ) , one of Hannes Kringler ’ s ferries is your only way to cross the Bögen . Kringler and his small fleet row passengers across the Bögen for a fare of 6d per person , aiming to shuttle four to six people at a time . Kringler leases dockside frontage through the Stevedores ’ Guild . On both banks he maintains a berth outfitted with a heavy bell , lest he require summoning from being moored on the opposite bank . Despite his advancing years and swollen joints , Kringler makes numerous return
