Contrary to popular myth many inhabitants of the Old World tries to keep themselves reasonably clean. Soap is readily available, and can be scented or plain. There are even public bathhouses in the major cities, such as The Marble Baths in Altdorf.

But of course, this being the Old World, there are other ideas as well, such as the one expressed by the pig farmer above. And who knows, it might be true. Stranger things are part of common day life in the Old World.

Ratchett Stables

It didn't take me long to find the Ratchett Stables. I walked down Königstrasse towards the Königsplatz, which most coaching lines use as a depature and arrival point in Altdorf. In the bustle of the platz I flagged down a coach and had the driver point me in the right direction. Not surprisingly the Ratchett Stable were close to the Königsplatz, and also close to the Association of Coachmen. I spotted the stables of Cartak lines as well, and Four Seasons and several other minor lines sharing stables.
