Brauninger House

Owned by the Brauninger merchant family, this building is modest for The Hill, it contains 16 rooms, a large servants’ quarters, and separate stables and coach house. The Brauningers built the house over two centuries ago. The merchant house has contracts with several noble families and mercenary outfits across eastern and southern Empire to supply arms: the family’s primary business. Many of the town’s forges are under the family’s control, and the Metalworking Guild is a close ally.

Madame Beaumarteau’s

The stone facade of this long, low shop is carved with the shapes of traditional masks. The carving is beautifully wrought, making the shop stand out, even compared to the other elegant businesses on Osterstrasse. Madame Beaumarteau’s is the premiere boutique for an array of fine costumes as well as fancy masks and more austere garb. Madame Beaumarteau is an aging spinster, stout of limb and heart. 

She sews much of her work herself, but employs a gaggle of Halfling seamstresses to assist her. Despite her stern demeanour, she is a kind soul, and will often offer reduced prices to less well-off clients, while overcharging those who are arrogant and abrasive.

Aschaffenberg Manor

The Aschaffenberg residence is the second largest estate on the Hill. The striking two-storey manor has a coach-house and stables built into the north side, and a selection of out-buildings to the south, all of which are built in a classical style. It is officially the home of Count Brynich of House Aschaffenberg and his wife, Countess Eleanor. 

However, the uncertain future of Ubersreik, and the casual way in which the von Jungfreuds were removed from power, has persuaded the count to retire to his lands in the county of Ubalmulen. He has left his wife to wrap up their affairs in town as he prepares his castle for her arrival. However, she has absolutely no desire to replace her palatial residence with a dingy tower in the windswept hills of Ubalmulen, and plans to do everything she can to never leave Ubersreik.
