This city lies almost exactly in the centre of the Great Forest and some call it the 'Eye of the Forest', where, like the eye of the cyclone, all is calm. Formerly the captial of the Duchy of Talabecland, it now one of the more fiercely independent City States, determinedly clinging to its hard-won privileges and its own peculiar local customs. It was in this city that Dieter, the disgraced grandson of the Emperor Leopold, made his home after being exiled from Nuln and his descendants live here to this day.

  • This city lies almost exactly in the centre of the Great Forest and some call it the 'Eye of the Forest', where, like the eye of the cyclone, all is calm. Formerly the captial of the Duchy of Talabecland, it now one of the more fiercely independent City States, determinedly clinging to its hard-won privileges and its own peculiar local customs. It was in this city that Dieter, the disgraced grandson of the Emperor Leopold, made his home after being exiled from Nuln and his descendants live here to this day. The city stands at a great river junction, where weary river- and road-travellers meet before departing on their way north to Middenheim, east to Kislev, or west to Altdorf. Talabheim stands within an unusual rocky bowl, whose steep outward sides present wall-like fortifications. Within the bowl, however, the land is flat and here stands the city's majestic buildings, surrounded by fields which produce rich harvest for the inhabitants. At the point where the River Talabec flows around the edges of the craggy wall stands a small settlement and harbour, from where a winding road leads halfway up the rock face to a tunnel - the only entrance to the city. This tunnel was supposedly magically created many years ago and is known as the Wizards Way. It is fully half a mile long and broad enough for two wagons abreast. A small fortress at each end of the tunnel completes the defences.
