Tailors, armourers and a scribe at his desk

New Website

Kuttenberg's tailors have opened their shutters, its smiths have stocked their racks, and the scriptorium has a scribe at his desk.

Clothes for every station

  • 18 new merchants in Kuttenberg, Bylany, Suchdol and Miskovice
  • Every piece of clothing in the game, for men and women: over 1,600 garments, from a rag-dealer's patched hose to the court draper's finest
  • Four ranks of dress: the poor, the common folk, the burghers and the nobility, each with its own merchants and prices
  • Rag-dealers in the slums, tailors and seamstresses in every town, a hatter, a clothier and the court draper in the Italian Court

Arms for every purse

  • Every weapon in the game: swords, axes, maces, polearms, shields, bows, crossbows, handguns and their ammunition
  • Village smiths for cheap steel, a weaponsmith, a master swordsmith for the named blades, a shield-maker and a bowyer
  • Type /merchants in game to see who sells what, and where they stand

Armour for every purse

  • Every piece of armour in the game, more than 660 of them: gambesons, mail, plate, brigandines and helmets
  • A padded-armour maker, a mailmaker, an armourer and a master armourer in Kuttenberg's armourers' streets, plus cheap pieces from the village smiths

Sleep under the stars

  • The bedroll, sold by the tackle seller: lay it out anywhere with /bedroll, or from the radial menu, and hold the use key on it to sleep

Edric the Scribe, in the flesh

  • Edric now keeps his desk at the scriptorium in Kuttenberg. Speak with him for the realm's news, the next gathering, your Discord link, or a copy of your book
  • On the forum, Edric writes as the realm's official voice, marked with the quill. Start with his guide for newcomers

A fresh coat of paint

  • The scoreboard (Tab), dialogues, death screen and loading screen now match the character creator and the website

Life in the streets

New Fixed

Kuttenberg is busier, hungrier and better dressed than it was.
