Bremen

​Originally founded by gold prospectors, Bremen is located along the southwestern edge of Maer Dualdon. It is susceptible to seasonal flooding, but the townspeople have long since learned to manage that. Bremen, along with Caer-Konig, was once given as a reward to barbarian tribes who aided Ten-Towns in the Battle of Icewind Dale, but a new populace reclaimed the town after the barbarians abandoned it for their tundras. ​
   Sitting in solitude on the west bank of Maer Dualdon, a trip to Bremen does not carry a lot of interest to those who cannot travel by boat. With a small trail - which is perilously washed away during the flooding season by the Shaengarne River - travel by caravan is ill advised much most of the year.
   The townsfolk of Bremen have mastered living in some of the harshest lands of the Ten-Towns. Biting winds blow across the tundra during the coldest months, assaulting the unprotected northern section of the town. Bremen doesn't usually fair better in the spring and summer months either, as melting snowpack and glaciers contribute to the rising tide of Maer Dualdon, which struggles to drain into the Shaengarne River, causing the town's southern banks  to flood.
   While the flash floods have been devastating to the town's harbor, shops, and homes, it does come with a benefit. Unique objects swallowed up by the lake over time have been known to wash ashore as the lake flows into the river. Jewelry, scrimshaw, and even magical items have been found after a flood has receded. With such predominance are items found along Bremen's southern shores in the late summer months that it has become an attraction, with interested folks planning their visit to the town during this time in the hopes of striking it rich.
