X: Migdhal-bar: This is the Dwarven quarter of Nuln,
where most of the city’s Dwarven population resides.
When looking at the quarter from outside, it almost
looks as if a group of very solid buildings are trying to
become a fortress – which is probably why the
Dwarves have named it “Migdhal-bar”, or “keep city”
in Reikspiel. At the center of the district lies the
Dwarven temples, which the Dwarves consider the
rightfull temples; the ones found in Temple Distrikte are
only there for diplomatic reasons. The temple to
Grungni stands tall and proud, flanked by temples to
Gronrhun, Valaya, Grimnir and even a small shrine to
Bragni.
The district is mostly self reliant, and a number of spe-
cialised Dwarven stores, as well as smithies can be
found here – and a few Inns as well. Non-Dwarves are
tolerated and treated fairly, but Elves should not ven-
ture in here after nightfall.

Y: Fortress Island: Situated at the centre of this island is

the Graz Keep, where Nuln keep its convicted criminals
and debtors locked up. A harsh place, life expectency
amongst the prisoners is not long – especially if you
get placed in the lower parts of the prison, which
tends to get flooded whenever the River Reik has a
higher rate of water than normal. Graz Keep stands as
a warning sign to all criminals of the city, and the ra-
vens can be seen picking the bones of those hung
from the battlements, or placed in hanging cages to die
from thirst and hunger.
Much of the old fortress which was build here during
the Age of Three Emperors can still be seen, and for
that reason this island has become the command cen-
tral of the Nulner Reik Kommando, a naval unit deal-
ing with the safety of the Reik within the jurisdiction
of the Electoral City. Also, massive cannons are placed
at the island pointing down the three river paths, fully
capable of sinking any enemy vessel to near the city
walls.
