Chateaufaux is a small town located within Dementlieu. Although foreigners associate Dementlieuse culture with the fine art and foppery of Port-a-Lucine, Chateaufaux has developed its own identity (albeit obscure to most) for science, crafts, and inventions.

Background

Unfortunately, a rising tide of madness is growing within Chateaufaux. If the Something in the Water dread possibility is in play, this is a result of the Fiends of Chateaufaux poisoning the water before their removal from the city[1][1.1] in 741 BC[2] Unfortunately, this may have dire implications for Dr. Vilhelm Mikki and his famed clinic, for the locals are beginning to think him the cause.[1.2]
