Bremen

Bremen was the westernmost of the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale.

Geography
Bremen was located on the southwestern shore of Maer Dualdon, where the Shaengarne River met the lake. Bremen's position made it susceptible to flooding, although Bremenites knew the signs and lives were rarely lost because of it.

History
The town was nearly destroyed just prior to 1312 DR in the invasion of the Icewind Dale by the Legion of the Chimera.

In 1356 DR, Bremen and Caer-Konig were given to the barbarians of Icewind Dale after the war with Akar Kessell. Revjak became the spokesperson for Bremen.

The spokesman of the town around the 1360s DR was Gil Haerngen, who, like other Bremenites, had a hobby of searching for gold and treasure on the floodplains along the banks of the river.

In 1482 DR, Catti-brie set up a home base in Bremen while waiting for her appointed rendezvous with her friends.

Notable locations

 * Earvin's Treasures, a small shop run by the Luskanite wizard Earvin Fastul, who fled from the Arcane Brotherhood and gathered magical trinkets displaced by Bremen's regular flooding.
 * Five Tavern Center, a cluster of five taverns arranged on a circular gravel square. The proximity of the taverns led to outdoor bar fights nearly every night.
 * Knuckleheader, a tavern run by Darby Snide in 1483 DR. Catti-brie had an agreement in which she would perform minor magical tasks in exchange for food and board when needed.
 * Shaengarne Street, a street lining the harbor and separating the town from the floodplains along the banks of the river.
 * Statue of Rolph Bremen, presumably a founder of Bremen.
 * Spokesman's house and town hall.
 * Fishhouses.
