Sangerhafen is a kingdom in Gloriana.

Background[]

The city of Wien is located in the kingdom of Sangerhafen.[1] Katrina was born in the city of Wien,, though she would grow up in Slava in the kingdom of Vakia.

Sangerhafen is known for its rich silver mines. Silver is mined from there, and then minted into Monda coins used throughout Glorianna (How To Be A Hero)[2]

Behind the scenes[]

Sangerhafen is based on Austria. The location Wien and Sangerhafen are alleged to have originated from unused ideas for Katrina's background from Lori Ann Cole, although this is not verified. A later backstory released by the Coles for School For Heroes instead places her background ties to the town of Slava in Vakia. An earlier reference ties Spielburg to Austria referring to it as How to Be.

The Wien/Sangerhafen locations, were to appear in the How to Be a Hero (QFG retelling) novels that were being written back in 2003 (although the novels were later canceled).[3]But that universe was very different than the version that appears in QFG games (though they remain a backstory for Hero-U).

  1. Where was Katrina born? I don't think I've ever answered that one. She was born in a city called Wien in the kingdom of Sangerhafen, which is roughly the equivalent of Vienna Austria on our world. She was born beautiful, but very poor. She learned quickly how cruel the world could be, and so she used every skill at her means in order to survive. She hated the feeling that comes from being a penniless woman, and promised herself that she would find a way so that she would never be powerless again. While she was a courtesan, she attracted the attention of a wizard. She learned magic from him. With his sponsorship she went to WIT. However the wizards were conservatice old farts who had a difficult time dealing with a beautiful and very ambitious woman in thier midst. When a demonic invasion threatened the very halls of WIT, Katrina didn't hesitate to use a forbidden destructive ritual that repelled the demons, but also killed several wizards, which is why she was kicked out. She was too ruthless for them.
