Zwei-Uferstadt

Zwei-Uferstadt, roughly translated as "City of Two Shores" lies on the shores of the thinnest part of the Talersee. It spans across the lake to reach both the northern and southern shores and incorporates floating structures on the lake's surface. Its unique construction and its strategic position have contributed to its reputation as a bustling hub of trade and commerce, connecting theLakelands and Taler regions.
Zwei-Uferstadt is governed by a board of merchant families, collectively known as the Merchant Council. This council oversees the city's economic affairs, trade agreements, and infrastructure development, ensuring that Zwei-Uferstadt remains a prosperous centre of commerce in the region.
Alongside fortified walls and watchtowers protecting the city's northern and southern perimeter, the merchant families maintain a private fleet of armed vessels to patrol the waters of the Talersee lake, deterring piracy and ensuring the safety of maritime trade routes.
