Barony of Weissbruck

The Barony of Weissbruck is an estate on the east bank of the River Bögen, consisting mainly of the rapidly growing town of Weissbruck itself. It is ruled by the recently ennobled House Gruber, a family that have become rich because of the deep mines it owns in the Skaag Hills, but has little in the way of status.
Less than a century ago, Wiessbruck was just another subsistence farming and fishing village, but with the opening of the mines and the construction of the canal it has expanded rapidly. It is now a bustling merchant town, and the sound of construction rings everywhere as new buildings expand the outskirts to all sides. Warehouses line the canal and river banks, storing coal and iron ore from the nearby mines, wool and wine from Bögenhafen, and all manner of goods from Altdorf, Carroburg, and the Vorbergland Canals.
There are always a number of barges tied alongside its wharfs, and shipping can constantly be seen moving up and down the river.
Several inns look out on to the river and the canal.
