"The capital of the Dual Monarchy has seen better days. The palaces still glitter, but the mood is uneasy."[1]
"Recall that place of white and black, so cold after its season of heat."[2]
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is on the verge of revolution. While it is a dangerous and hostile environment, brimming with political instability, Vienna is also a great place to unload caches of coffee.[3]
Vienna is also home to an ongoing conflict between revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries. The Fidgety Agitator is an individual who conducts business with the Calendar Council, often delivering supplies to progress the Liberation of Night.[4] He's opposed by an individual known as the Gentleman of the Bureau, also called the Old Man, who fiercely works against the anarchists at all costs.[5] The Old Man is also a powerful chessmaster, though he too operates in fear of the Great Powers.[6]
There are hints that Vienna may be the location of the mysterious woods in winter, the proving ground for spies of the Great Game.[7]
