Overview
Einbroch is a polluted industrial city in the Republic of Schwartzvald. It cannot be accessed via teleporting; you must take the Airship or walk. There is also no teleporting or fly-winging allowed inside the town, so having Increase AGI really helps. Alternatively, use the Kafra Employee in Juno to teleport here.
Einbroch and its sister city Einbech represent the industrial heart of the Schwartzvald Republic. Powered by steam engines and fueled by mineral mining, these cities drove the republic's industrial age forward.

Story
The Schwartzvald Republic's scientific community has long been a source of pride for its citizens. Juno, the magnificent floating City of Wisdom, is a testament to the republic's achievements in science as well as its research in ancient artifacts.
Perhaps the most revered figure in Schwartzvald history is Strahlenstein, the leading advocate for the development of the steam engine. With his research, the minerals that fuel the engines were discovered and thus dawned Schwartzvald's Industrial Age.
Steam engines were mass produced and distributed all over the republic. Many merchants seized the opportunity to invest their capital in Einbech, a small mining town located near an abundant mineral supply southwest of Juno. Their financial support gave rise to a boom in the mining industry and the small town developed into a large city.
Strahlenstein continued his research and devised a way to produce more powerful high-pressure engines, making it possible to extract metals and minerals that were previously impossible to mine. People began building factories on vacant land near Einbech, and an extensive railroad network was laid. Eventually, this community rapidly grew and was named the city of Einbroch.

The denizens of Einbroch are divided into extremes of wealth and status. The rich hold all the power and live in comfort, lording over and supervising the many workers that keep the machinery and vital services of the city running.
