Holtzkrieg is a small mill town approximately one day's travel north of Brünest. Holtzkrieg lies amid a large forest, and provides a great deal of lumber that is shipped out via Brünest. The roads north of Holtzkrieg are not as traveled, and lead to the northern city of Gütterung astride the Attavach, Kestrial, and Toria rivers.

Recently, the lumber industry has picked up speed in Holtzkrieg, yet lumber bound for export has dropped off.
