Levalon

Levalon is a city located in the continent of Bigboy.

Overview
Built in the middle of leagues upon leagues of lush, fertile fields, Levalon is at the center of the breadbasket of most of the continent. What started as a smattering of settlements of humans and halflings that had chosen to farm the land eventually grew, until the borders of each village and town blended into each other and Levalon was born. Over time, each of the initial settlements that comprise the city morphed into various districts within it. In the center is the Market District, which houses more inexpensive, fresh produce than any of the other Freeholds’ markets combined. Other districts include the Temple District, the Residential District and the Business District.

Levalon, while not exactly known for it, houses quite a lot of faithful. The Temple District is extremely popular, and serves as the home base for many of the religious sects across the continent. While they may have temples in other cities, their bases in Levalon are likely to be the largest and best-staffed. And while they aren’t technically the official form of government, many of the elder priests and clerics from the major religions are the ones making most of the decisions in the city, as the people trust them to look out for their flocks and come to a decision that’s best for everyone. In all technicality, though, Levalon is structured around loose town hall meetings, where everyone can speak their mind and posit ideas, and the people all listen and work out what they think is the most popular or most reasonable option. In heated debates, it does sometimes come down to a public vote, but more often than not the people in this relatively sleepy city can come to a common consensus.

By and large, Levalonese are very welcoming of strangers, and will gladly serve people from the world over in their establishments. That said, there isn’t much in the way of a tourism industry here, as it’s mostly a support system in the form of material goods and trade for the leagues of farmland that surround it. Not to say the city isn’t lively, of course, as the money and heavy trading that happen in Levalon make it bustle quite a bit, even for those not directly involved in the trade and movement of farm goods or the faith.
