Erengrad is one of the great cities of Kislev, a hardy port set upon the mouth of the River Lynsk where it meets the cold grey waters of the Sea of Claws. It is a city of merchants and sailors, of onion-domed towers and salt-stained wharves, standing as the northern realm's chief window upon the wider world and its trade with distant Marienburg and beyond.
Life in Erengrad is hard and unforgiving, as it is throughout Kislev. The city is battered by the frigid winds of the north and menaced by Norscan raiders who prowl the Sea of Claws in their longships, ever hungry for plunder. Its people are a stern and resilient folk, quick to reach for axe or blade, their faith placed in the ancient gods of the oblast and the strength of their kremlin walls.
Erengrad has weathered siege and sorrow across the long centuries, for it lies perilously exposed to the perils of the north. Yet its harbours still teem with ships and its markets with goods from across the Old World, a testament to the stubborn endurance of Kislevite folk. In a land where survival is a daily struggle, Erengrad stands as a bulwark of trade and defiance upon the cold northern shore.
