Bremen
Founded by dwarf prospectors from Kyrstad, the sleepy town of Bremen sits on the large river that cuts through Ozbiard. Bremen is right in between the capitol of Bryn Shandar and Aspen on the river. This allows Bremen to gather major wealth from trade. Twice in the past two months, residents of Bremen have had to mount search parties for their town speaker and oldest living resident, Dorbulgruf Shalescar, and twice they’ve found him wandering the frozen river in heavy furs, with no memory of how he got there. Dorbulgruf, old even by dwarf standards, isn’t long for this world. Many locals fear the same is true of the town itself, if Auril’s brutal winter does not abate.

Buried Treasures - Inn
This inn caters to treasure-seekers, specifically ones who pan for treasure along the riverbank in warmer weather. During the winter, this establishment has few, if any, visitors. The middle-aged innkeeper, Cora Mulphoon, treats her guests like royalty while trying to conceal the fact that she is barely making ends meet. The inn is a log and sprawling single story building, with an orange shingled roof and a pond. Several battered shields hang on the walls. It has a small stage for performers.Five-Tavern Center - Five Taverns
Five taverns stand in a semicircle around a central yard in the heart of Bremen. As the story goes, five brothers originally intended to build a tavern together, but each had assumed he would be the one to run the business. Since none of the brothers would work for the others, each built his own tavern, and they all compete for customers. The five taverns are called Stones, Even Keel, the River’s Mouth, the Grumpy Moose, and the Black-Bearded Brother. The taverns are old and poorly maintained. Stones is a timber and brick single story building, with a white shingled roof and moss-covered walls. It contains cobwebs in the corners and a huge collection of alcohol behind the bar. Even Keel is a timber framed building, with a white shingled roof and finely-crafted furniture. A small dragon's skull hangs over the hearth.
