Steinchencröe

Kain visited the town of Steinchencröe in Blood Omen. It was located to the west of Nosgoth, between Nachtholm and Vasserbünde. Kain avoided Steinchencröe during his mortal life; back then he "would not have graced the place with [his] presence". As a nobleman, the inhabitants with their "infamous aroma" were repulsive to him. However, as a vampire - and still not entirely comfortable with his undead existence - Kain's standards were lower. He no longer felt superior, claiming that his presence "merely added to the stench".

The town was enclosed by tall castle-like walls with gates to the north and south. Notably, it contained the Big Horn Brothel, and it was home to Irmok the Mad.
