_This time_ I am not going to overthink any aspect of this new RPG. "Gosh, I wonder how the Renaissance-era Holy Roman Empire, on which the game's setting is based, managed sewage."

The answer must be modified by this RPG's need to have expansive sewer systems for the PCs to trudge through killing rats and rat-people.

A proper metropolis will have a top level of easily accessible sewers for public hygiene and occasional adventuring needs. And rats, lots of rats. As pointed out in Girl Genius, "If there are no rats in the sewers, what do the monsters eat?"

The Renaissance-era Holy Roman Empire probably did not have dwarf contractors to engineer grim sewer-dungeons either.

Talagaad is a crappy little port whose aristos tax every thaler they can. If they only maintain the docks on which income depends when disaster looms, I bet they didn't spring for sewers. So, latrines, communal sewage cisterns and open sewers, I bet.

It's not a Warhammer Fantasy RPG if you're not rolling for odds to catch the Bloody Flux three times per session.
