The capital and largest city in
Bretonnia, home to most of the kingdom's government (but not its King
and Court, who have relocated to the fabulous palace at Oisillon), and
its most prestigious University, Guisonne. However, it is now mainly
famous for
its dirt, its huge desperate and
starving population, and the riots that periodically afflict it.
Guisoreux is a powder keg waiting to explode. Largely abandoned by the
nobility, but still home to many of the kingdom's most influential
gentry, scholars and merchants, it is in Guisoreux that the cultural
and technological developments that will forge the future of the
kingdom first emerge. Guisoreux attracts the kingdom's rabble-rousers,
fortune-seekers, oddball academics, and political opportunists. Those
who live here have a sense of pride in the city, seeing it as the very
heart of the kingdom. Outsiders tend to just be overwhelmed by its dirt
and danger.
"Guisoreux is a diseased whore," as
one traveller put it,
"she may look pretty from a distance, but it's all paint, and if you
linger too long she'll pull you down to your grave."
