Ever since this city's merchant council slighted a powerful wizard more than three centuries ago, its inhabitants have long suffered under a terrible curse: If they didn't talk for at least one hour every day, their innermost thoughts and secrets would be broadcast to everyone in the vicinity. Even though the curse has now been broken, the citizens of Oldenheim are still renowned for their talkativeness.

Designer's Notes & Resources
Originally I wanted to make the curse into something that's still ongoing, but eventually I decided against it, as it doesn't lend itself well to gaming. Still, such a historic incident is bound to have interesting effects on a city's culture…
I think I will also make music and singing a major focus of Oldenheim - thus, I will take inspiration for it from the old strongholds of the Meistersingers, like Augsburg and Nuremberg.
