From the most pleasant to the most horrid...
|
The smallest of the Bretonnian cities. It's gardeners are reputed.
|
Hosts the greatest temple of Shallya in the Old World. This is where the Bretonnian Kings are crowned.
|
The major Bretonnian port. L'Anguille is famous for its great lighthouse of black stone which was build by the Elfes of old.
|
An important port. Center of the trade of the Morceaux valley wine

The city of thieves
The keys are there to remember that the town was recaptured twice
: from the Arabians first, then from the Estalians.
|
The largest city and the capital. Recently the Bretonnian Kings have chosen to leave it for the Oisillon palace. A bustling city.
|
A cruel place

The city of the damned.
Moussillon despair started by a series of earthquakes which
destroyed most of the town around the middle of the previous

Correspondance
between Bretonnia and France (if there was such a thing)
Quenelles : Lyon
Parravon : Dijon
L'Anguille : St-Malo
Couronne : Rouen (with the miraculous springs of Lourdes)
Bordeleaux : Bordeaux,
Oisillon : Versailles,
Guisoreux : Paris
Brionne : Bayonne
Moussillon : Nantes (A place called Mousillon actually exists in
the region of Nantes)
Everything in
the rulebook p274-277 remains true but maybe some of the
descriptions shouldn't be taken to literally...
"I've found that
all the descriptions of Bretonnian towns in your manual page 274-277
amount to the same thing; The Bretonnian nobility is decadent and
corrupt, the poor die of hunger, and from all kind of awful
diseases and calimities without any of the nobles even caring
about it; not to mention crime that seems to be more common than
anywhere else in the Old World. Dare I suggest however, that we
may be missing some important information that could help us get
a better idea ? Please pardon me, but it seems these descriptions
must have been written by a Marienburgese scribe, frustrated for
not having been given a good seat at the Opera in Oisillon.
Throughout this text, I can see only compassion for the poor and
criticism of the aristocracy..."
