Livey

Geography

Situated on the banks of the river Armond, and within a couple of hours walk of the Wilds, Livey is constricted to the east and west by these natural boundaries. In between, there is excellent arable farmland. Most meat is imported from the village of Marches, to the south. The streets of Livey are only partly paved, but well-established. Most of the built environment is around 50 years old, with the exception of a few houses near the river and the temple of Dendrah.

History

Livey's history in the modern age seems to have been that of a small freshwater fishing village with a hinterland of subsistence farming. It was of no geographical or political significance until the last fifty or so years, when the population grew around the temple of Dendrah, which is of indeterminate age. A college of Further Education was founded in 728 and recently was acquired by Cool Jazz, a local entrepreneur, with the financial backing of Malmeck Industries.

Tourism

the following is an excerpt from the Trapadvisor Guide to Westlo Livey is a relatively new town in the region of Westlo. 1,500 people call it home, and it contains a small adventurers school, an indoor market called the Centre and a few inns. The local place of worship is dedicated to Dendrah, The Divinity, a beautiful female God, associated with the God of War. Her priest is Holy Tan Peart, and he welcomes the clean of heart and blood to services every sabbath. The locally-brewed drinks are a mead, Fastbuck, and an ale, Tar Python Ale. The visitor to Livey will find a cheerful, if somewhat backward, little settlement. Though there is little to attract the hillclimber, the healthseeker, the sportsman, or the marauding goblin, the contemplative may, if sufficiently attracted to spare it some leisurely hours, find, in its cobbled streets, in its several curious customs, and in the conversation of its local 'characters,' some of that picturesque sense of the past so frequently lacking in towns and villages which have kept more abreast of the times. The one place of worship, with its neglected graveyard, is of no architectural interest. The River Armont is said to abound in trout, but is much poached. We recommend staying either at the Paraffin Lamp or the once up-market Mercury Country Club. The Tower Inn is best reserved for those on a tight budget and is reputed to be at least watertight. Apart from the inns, nightlife is limited, especially since the closing of the local nightspot The Club of Earth for much-needed renovations.
