Weissbruck is a small Imperial town in the Reikland.[1a][2a][3a] Located where the Weissbruck Canal to Altdorf meets the River Bögen,[3a] it is an important trade centre in the region.[1a]
Weissbruck originated as a minor fishing village. However, through the shrewdness of its ruling family, the Grubers, it has become the wealthy trade town it is today. Initially, they began mining operations for coal and iron in the nearby Skaag Hills. Acquiring permission for further improvements from the Prince of Altdorf, they used their mining profits to fund construction of the Weissbruck Canal. The canal was built by Dwarf engineers in 2426 IC. This proved a foresighted decision indeed, for even after the seams of coal and iron dried up, the canal brings trade, citizens, and wealth to the town.[1a]
However, the recent closure of many mines has led to an overabundance of former miners in town. This unemployed workforce of burly labourers seems to have little to do but sit around town and drink cheap alcohol.[1a] Simultaneously, a Dwarf Gyrocopter pilot has appeared in town, claiming that the plan of the town resembles the secret Dwarf Rune of Explosions.[4a]
