Setting Description:
Prague is noted for its art and architecture, which fluidly incorporates styles from the Romanesque period through the present. It is an important center of music, literature, theater, and commerce. Historically, it represents either the western-most reaches of the Slavs or the eastern-most reach of western influence since Charlemagne.
