Temeschwar is a very old city. There has been a settlement on the site for a very long time. It was one of the first places to fall under the dominion of the Vard when they came east out of what is now Wintermark. They infused it with their ruthless spirit, and even after it became part of the League that spirit lingered. It may not be the only relic of old Varushka thing that has lingered, either. The city is suffering a plague of vermin that might not be entirely natural, and something that may or may not be related appears to be happening at Lorenzo's Deep Pockets. Whatever is going on, it's clearly not natural.
