Hallein Town
Hallein Town is a settlement with about 900 inhabitants located east of Vigil. It is located at the foot of a high tarn rising from the shores of Lake Hallensee, and access to it by land is almost impossible, except for the small mule path leading along the shore to the west. During thawing period the path usually is overflowed for a few weeks.
Hallein Town is the home of the workers for the salt mines in the Virlych hills and provide vital trade goods for the rest of the nation.
There are rumors about a ghost menacing the town from time to time. The people of Hallein know the ghost as Kaltia.
Additionally, Hallein is the starting point for some patrols of Lastwall forces over the Ustalav border into Virlych. It's also a starting point for curious folk looking for ancient (arcane) knowledge or items lost during the war against the Whispering Tyrant.
