Imberg

Imberg is a settlement on the eastern coast of Brycigg and the starting point of the campaign. The population of around 170 is mostly made up of labourers and business owners that serve the insular community. As one of the furthest inhabited places from the capital its contact with outsiders is limited to those who travel on the merchant road that passes over the nearby Von's Crossing bridge.

## Founding

The settlements founding is steeped in myth, as is the source of it's name. The most commonly accepted creation story focuses on the destruction of a seaborne city, of which the survivors washed aground in the bay and used the flotsam of the wreck to build the first structures on the site.

Imberg's name is thought of have come from one of these founding survivors but their identity has been lost to time.

## Architecture

The village is mostly built around, if not on, the waters in the bay using rock spires as connective points and anchors. Most houses and businesses are built entirely from re-purposed wood but some are carved into the cliffs and spires themselves. Some locals live on houseboats on the water itself.

## Notable Locations

### Von's Crossing

This stone bridge connects the cliffs surrounding the bay, crossing high above a large estuary. The bridge is primarily used by traders and patrols and is considered the most easterly point on many trading routes, so much so that most don't venture out this far.

When locals know there are going to be caravans passing through

At school, he feigns excitement when offered Band-Aids from [[Kanji Kageyama|Kanji]] for rope burns he has. He continues to meet Kanji in the nurse's office and shares his troubled past.

He joins Kanji at his father's funeral, and afterward notes that ever since he told Kanji about his past, he has been beside him as his friend.

After his expulsion from school for two weeks, he speaks with Kanji on how he has not seen his parents for a year. For his future plans, he says he would like to become an actor. At first, he laughs at Kanji stating that he considers him a close friend, but upon arriving home he is overcome with tears when he registers that he is alone.

As an adult, he appears to want [[Eishin Kuga|Eishin]] to join the yakuza he runs. Finding that Eishin and Kanji have fallen in love leaves Yashiro dejected. Yūsuke introduces someone who would make a good bodyguard, namely [[Chikara Dōmeki|Chikara]]. Asking about him, he wants to know what Chikara has heard about him from Kirishima.

Beast Render (Skinwalker Barbarian Archetype)

*Down the streets the Hunters flew fleet of foot, chasing one of their own who had turned to the Scourge. What lay before them was a sight gushing with crimson spray as a beast clad in Hunter’s garb pulled it’s axe out of the squirming body of the Leech. The beast render calls upon the skinwalker’s bestial instincts to assert itself as the true dominant predator in the Hunt using what the beasts' fear the most.*

### Hunter’s Training

Beast Renders are proficient in all simple and martial weapons, all Hunter Weapons and light armor.

Religion in The Other

Like Brycigg the Other focuses on a polytheistic identity for it's religions, verging on a type of animism. As the people of the Other are largely nomadic in nature their stories and interpretations vary by group but most resolve around the same themes.

## Birth

The groups of the Other believe that all mortal life was descended from the 'titans', colossal creatures that once dominated the land. Examples of these (however somewhat smaller) can still be found in the Other and are sources for animistic worship when they are witnessed.

The three primary titans each represent one aspect of the world; earth, sky and sea. The earth is represented by the tarrasque, the sky by the roc and the sea by the kraken.
