Bad Schüschein

Bad Schüschein is the area in Überwald where the first Glass Clock was made. Bad Schüschein is currently known because We-R-Igors is headquartered there in the old Rathaus.

Annotation

A phonetic pun on shoeshine; however, while an Igor would gladly lick a master's boots for them, they would never leave an unsatisfactory shine.

In German the prefix 'Bad' to a place indicates a spa town such as Bad Godesburg or Bad Neuenahr. 'Bad' literally means bath but perhaps here translates more properly as bathing place. The biblical book of Esther takes place in the city of Shushan but completely fails to mention anything about Igors.
