	For those who offend the Governor, there is a prison/mining camp that excavates silver from the inland hills. Prisoners there are mutinees and others captured on the high seas who were not fit to be impressed and serve as new Icelundian crewmen. The King of Icelund, [[Hrothgar]], concerns himself little with such administrativa, and most actual management of his country he leaves for his faithful [[Gnomes of Zurich]]. Six months of the year Hrothgar spends at his palatial stronghold outside his capitol city. The other half on personal campaigns throughout the lands and oceans, in order that he keep in shape and stave off boredom. On these campaigns, the King adventures with a loyal and formidable group of friends, who, during the off-season, entertain themselves with adventures or pleasures until they the King's call.

	Bustling Zürich lies on the Inlet of Loki, the largest port of Icelund. The city buzzes with intensity. Adventurers are rounded up for ships' crew at nearly every corner. Much shipbuilding takes place close to the marina, where there are scores of vessels in various states of construction. This kingdom can be characterized as a land of blue-collar workers and warriors, and the smell of their cheap ale pervades center city. The streets here are a marketplace of foodstuffs, ale, weapons, and other items (mostly plundered). Behind closed doors and large men, stacks of gold pieces are exchanged for goods and services that are too big to be bargained for on the streets.
