Magic is regarded with a healthy respect. Anyone visiting Hammerstadt will quickly notice that where the castle of Zweiburg once stood, is now only scorched black earth and a mirage-like shifting of air.

Magical creatures are rare in the city, although there are some citizen - usually assumed drunk by their neighbours - who insist they have seen strange beasts stalking the ruins of Zweiburg Castle after dark.

On occasion Portavan ships haul in a massive sea monster for processing in the Corvolis fish markets, and there have always been rumours about bogles and pucks in the sewers stealing prized hammers or rendering sewing scissors blunt. These are generally dismissed as stuff and nonsense.
