Zeidenburg is a large town located on the Gundar River. Originally part of Gundarak, it is now claimed by Barovia. Though it is a successful community, it is a hotbed for conflict between oppressed Gundarakite rebels and the forces of the Barovian boyars. Despite the crackdown of the authorities, Zeidenburg remains a hive of criminal activity and the black market.[2] The garda crackdowns on this are brutal and violent, but it has yet to properly deter it.
Harvests of cereal from the surrounding farms are a chief export of Zeidenberg, and the city eats well and exports plenty beyond. It is also a thriving merchant thoroughfare, part of why the black market thrives; so long as it has a price, you can find it in Zeidenburg.[3]
Lady Lyssa von Zarovich taking a more direct hand in day-to-day affairs has largely stabilized the region, but stable doesn't mean the conflict isn't happening - merely contained.
