I. San Marco

The heart of Venice, San Marco is known for its power in both politics and intrigue. Home to the Saint Mark's Square, San Marco also is home to the governing body of Venice. With many churches and the Doge's Palace, this sestieri is well guarded.

II. Castello

Also known as Isola d'Olivolo, Castello is home to the Venetian Arsenal where the mass production of galleys of every size helped create one of the strongest naval fleet. But what is that shadow on the horizon? A merchant fleet? Rumor has it that the revolution in France has turned its eyes on Venice.

VI. Dorsoduro

Murano

A series of islands linked by bridges in a lagoon. The island is known for its glasswork and beauty.

Poveglia

Beware the phantoms that haunt the unmarked graves, the mass resting places of plague victims through the ages. This island has been vacant well through the 18th century and is just now starting to show life once more. It is a check point for ships to make sure they carry not the plague, but most of all it is an oubliette--a place to put things one wishes to forget. Be not surprised to find a bone or two unearthed by hunters, and dare not venture there after dark. But most of all...Death Be Not Proud.

Veneto

The farm lands and city beyond Venice. With the Dolomite Mountains, rolling hills, and old Roman roads it is by far one of the richest lands in all of the Venetian Republic.

Open Waters

The open sea was a dangerous place. The waters were patrolled by the navy yes, but the pirates of the dark waters picked them off one by one. Will your merchant ship make it through?
