“Do you know of a good carpenter? I need new tables for my inn after that dreadful rioting last week! But I can’t find a single able-bodied carpenter, and trust me, I’ve looked everywhere! Not even the carpenter’s guild can point to a good carpenter! You know what I’ve heard? They’ve all gone to Marienburg, to help build ships for the Merchant Houses there. River barges, military river barges! And what do you think Marienburg would do with a fleet of river barges? Set sail on Altdorf, that’s what they’ll do. And every carpenter in the Empire have been lured there by the Marienburgers’ filthy silver!”
– A frustrated Altdorf inn owner looking for a carpenter in the Werksviertel Bezirk
