Vetera

Like many settlements on the fringes of Corvan Arcadia, Vetera is a small, cozy village that primarily venerates Ennius and subsists on livestock, grain and the grace of the rain that passes overhead every season. Its people are a hardworking folk, and kind enough to be trusting towards even the strangers that occasionally pass through from the forest to their east-- so long as they say their salves and Ave Imperator often enough.
Only one slightly-notable feature marks the town from the rest of the surrounding thorpes: the Hearthgardens, a small herb garden that grows with great alacrity and large, potent yield, and is said to have been touched by Ennius himself in his travels. It serves as the centerpiece of the town governor's courtyard, one Galves Xilos Merixes, rumored by the citizenry to have been installed there to temper his overzealous fervor and beat the "sense of the scythe" into him, though thus far the town alderman has been unsuccessful in keeping the young lord from leading "expeditions" into the nearby forest.
