Gypsies and Vasserbünde

Vasserbünde featured in Blood Omen. It was a large settlement located to the east of Nupraptor's Retreat. Kain commented that its past glory was: "now stained and faded". The townspeople regarded Nupraptor as a lunatic, but they appeared to fear his magic.

Vasserbünde had a few businesses. These were: Capt'n Bitter's Sudz (a tavern), the Chopping Block (a butcher shop), and the Village Smithy.

To the south of Vasserbünde, Kain encountered a gypsy camp - the first of many in that game. He remarked that the gypsies were not to be trusted completely - saying "most of their babble should be taken with a pinch of salt" - but they occasionally had information that was useful. The Vasserbünde camp did have something else of worth besides their rumours and superstition. One tent held Kain's Disguise form. Once he acquired this, he could make himself appear like a human peasant. The form prevented him being attacked, and allowed him to converse with people.
