Wandiene Rookery

Of all Ubersreik’s slums, Wandiene rookery is the largest and most notorious. It lies in the north-west of the Artisans’ Quarter, packed tight to the high town-walls and the fortifications of the Precinct. It is uncensused and massively overcrowded, and is known for its many bawds, thieves, and ne’erdowells. Its tall, unstable houses have no access to Ubersreik’s extensive sewers. The buildings lean precariously against each other, and any available space between is filled with shacks and makeshift hovels. The few paths and alleyways are narrow, gloomy, filthy, and untrod by the Watch.

Guido Falck has retreated to Wandiene after the arrival of General von Dabernick and his soldiers. A decorated captain of the Ubersreik State Army, now retired, Falck is utterly loyal to Duke Sigismund Jungfreud, and leads a resistance against the ‘Altdorf invasion’ from the depths of the slums. He currently commands over 50 resistance fighters, but is a patient man, and will not attack his enemy openly.
