Lylf Thaeth

Lylf Thaeth is a pair of Dalforean towns, originally called Lylffe and Taeth, lying near the coast of the Bight of Taerth.
== History ==
Lylffe was founded when the Dalforeans first arrived in the area during the 5th Century BCE. As such it is one of the country's oldest settlements, a town planned by Isfelor to ensure Dalforean dominion over the entire Merkata River, along with Kesnor and Lilfellyn.
Lylffe was a prosperous port town for a long time, lying at the base of the large shallow Vermel Bay. Over time it was joined by roads to Ulfmell and Ashfeas.
Following the Great Gap the physical landscape changed. Vermel Bay dried out, leaving Lylffe six hours' walk from the Trade Lake. This was a major issue, and Lylffe's population plummeted. Its strategic and economic importance dropped steadily until, following the Tianguese River War, it was mandated by the government to 'recover at all costs'. 
As a result the mayor of Lylffe commissioned a new port - Taeth. It was to be the new location of the town, with all of Lylffe moving to the coast. This plan was unpopular with the locals, and the mayor ended up enlisting pioneers from the large cities of Unetheas and Helnas. Taeth was founded and the road between the two settlements improved - travel between the two generally takes three hours on foot and four with a horse and cart.
Nowadays, though Lylffe and Taeth are two separate settlements with different attitudes, they are legally recognised as a single town.
