Ziegsturhl

Ziegsturhl, also known as Ziegsturchl, is a small town in Nosgoth, located south of the Pillars of Nosgoth, and east of The Cemetery.

In Blood Omen, it was here that Kain was refused a drink late at night at the tavern by the Tavern Landlord , who was afraid of human and inhuman dangers. Following his exit from the tavern, Kain was ambushed by a band of Brigands ( who were secretly hired by Mortanius). Finding all exits from the town to have been blocked, Kain was surrounded and outnumbered. The leader of the brigands impaled Kain's chest with his own Iron Sword, killing him.

After his resurrection, Kain returned here immediately and killed the brigands in order to avenge his death, but after committing the deed he was informed by Mortanius that they were merely pawns and directed him towards the Pillars of Nosgoth, where he would meet Ariel and begin his quest.
