Pont-a-Museau

From Mistipedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

One of the principal cities of Richemulot and possibly the most important river port in the west part of the Core, Pont-a-Museau sits on the Musarde River, its geography interspersed across the river's banks and even on bridges, islands, and levies that straddle the river itself. Various stores and workshops dot the maze of winding and narrow streets. Chateau Delanuit sits upon an island in the Musarde in the middle of town. It is the residence of Jacqueline Renier[1], both darklord and temporal leader of Richemulot[2]. Her influence over the nobility, wererats, and society in general makes politics a game of intrigue both with a level of sophistication not seen in Ste. Ronges[3] nor a level of deadliness not seen in Mortigny.[4]
