Helvetica Geography

Helvetica

• Geneva: baronial seat and capital, set among mountains on the shores of Lake Lorraine.
  • Geneva College, formerly Geneva Girls' Finishing School; centre of the action. Employs Gert, Hans, Arvid.
  • Schloss Shriftsteller, home of the Baron.
  • Mysterious Waterfall of Mystery (see: Elena). Apparently mundane, but embroiled in fate-witch plots.
• Mt. Schaedelbrecher. Overlooks the main pass from Geneva to Eisen; houses Saint Alsace monastery (from whence Brother Etienne, Cujo).
• The Schwarzen: big spooky forest, getting slightly less spooky at the edges. Eventually leads into Montaigne and Eisen.

Montaigne

• Sices Province. Economically reliant on timber and carpentry.
  • Bois-Franc. Closest significant Montaigne town to Geneva; about a day's journey away. PCs no longer welcome there due to prison break.
    • Home of Nicolette and her father, Judge Dupin
    • Guillotine factory. One former owner, only slightly exploded.
    • Prison. Imperfectly escape-proof.
  • Mont Saint-Gabriyon. Provincial seat of Sices; about two days from Geneva. PCs no longer welcome there due to an entirely different prison break.
    • 5 rue Plumet, fancy home of Armand Chevalier.
    • du Sices mansion, currently uninhabited; former home of Lady du Sices. Chevalier has his eye on it.
    • Prison. Demonstrably insecure.

Eisen

• Sieger: the nearest Eisen domain to Geneva, and its former owner.
• Wische
• Academy of St. Martin in the Fields: Gert and Arvid used to work here
• The Schwarzen: big spooky forest, getting slightly less spooky at the edges. Part of Helvetica is along one such edge.
  • The Kleinberg is:
    • A) a small mountain within the Schwarzen
    • B) the lands surrounding said mountain
    • C) the the noble house which controls these lands (and which Hans belongs to)

Elsewhere

• Hereford. Profitably rural Avalonian shire. Cat: still not Duchess.
