    What’s up with the names of the fishermen? Ankh is clearly an Egyptian theme, which is fitting considering Alexandria is also in Egypt, Sekt could be either the German word for sparkling wine or come from Set/Sutekh/Seth or Sekhmet/Sachmet, both of which are Egyptian deities. But then there’s Furt, which is the German word for ford, and Fina, which is a female first name in German speaking countries. I can’t think of any Egyptian origin for either name. And I have no clue what Jiffy might be from… apart from the English “I’ll be done in a jiffy” phrase.

    So Ahrensbach’s lower city is actually physically lower than their noble’s quarter. ^^
