'''Gimrun''' (traditionally pronounced ''geem-roon'', nowadays ''geem-run'') is a medium town located in the Central Northern Zone.
Gimrun, as it exists today, is the modern incarnation of the medieval-era town of the same name. The town ruins were found by Angelus Argentum (then known as Angelus Genvor, at the time a librarian from [[Sirvarris]]) in E7-202, before founding the Silverlight Guild the next year, which is better known today as the [[Guild of Silver Larceners]]. As of today, the Guild is still active and in control of their hometown.
The Guild is well-known for its [[History of the Mazes#Era 7|numerous acts of grand thievery]], however, their main source of income is through the management of Gimrun, via a unique taxation system. The guild keeps control over the town by restricting access to Town Hall and Town Security positions to Guild members. The position of [[mayor]], in particular, is reserved for the leader of the Guild, the ''guildmaster''.
Gimrun is a medium-sized town neighboring a major faction capital and is one of the Northern Zone's most visited towns. The Guild is known for its strict, pure-human policy, viewing [[halflings]], [[youkai]], and other non-human sapients as second-class creatures, unworthy of joining them. As a result, although it is legal for non-humans to become residents of Gimrun, they pay higher taxes than humans, and as such, only constitute a small fraction of the population. It is estimated that 75% to 80% of the population is composed of [[humans]], with the remainder being roughly equivalent numbers of [[halflings]], [[youkai]], and [[Angelics|angelic creatures]].
Influenced by the Guild of Silver Larceners' traditions and preferences, Gimrun has a strong culture of unarmed and melee fighting. The town is famous for not having a shooting range in town, a particularly rare occurrence in the Mazes.

In other words, the shop value of everything sold in Gimrun is 1.2x the normal value. (This only affects items for sale; i.e. that you purchase. If you sell items to a shop in Gimrun, you still only get half of there are no changes to the ''normal'' priceamount of money you receive.)
