"The sacking of Marburg is as common as the Autumn Winds."
- —Stirlander saying[2]
Marburg has stood as a settlement of the Empire since the reign of Emperor Sigmar[3a], but is at present only a small village in Stirland.[1a][2] The village is located in the thick forests just south of the River Stir, along a road between Wurtbad and Siegfriedhof. Due to its proximity to these forests, Marburg is regularly threatened by raiders such as Forest Goblins.[2]
