Barony of Teufeltal

WFRP 4e A Guide to Ubersreik

The Schluesselschloss is the Baron’s seat of power. This crumbling castle is built atop a rocky island in the middle of the Teufel. Its narrowest point controls Grey Lady Pass, where it enters the Schluesselschlossschlucht, a steep-sided gorge famous for its red waterfalls.
Baron Harald von Schluessel’s steward, Reinhart Blickstein, handles the daily decisions and the baron’s dwindling coffers. Baroness Mathilde von Schluessel has borne the baron two sons: Erik and Matthaus. The brothers do not get on. Erik is doughty, if dimwitted, and Matthaus is studious and sensitive.

Geography

The Barony of Teufeltal encompases the steep-sided valley carved by the River Teufel through the Grey Mountains. Teufel Lake is in centre of the valley, known locally as ‘Rotsee’ because of is dark-red colour. Scholars claim the Teufel picks up heavy iron deposits from the surrounding mountain ranges, but local legend claims it is the collected blood of the Dwarfs fallen to Greenskins through the millenia. The barony guards the entrance to the Grey Lady Pass, and as such its primary road is reasonably well maintained despite the rough terrain.
