## Description

A giant city in an even bigger tropical forest. Although rain is common in the region, the residents of Livera see no rain, unless theyre high in the treetops, or in one of the few openings in the trees, due to the masses of plantlife. Houses are built into the trees as a way to preserve space, and as such, there are stairs that go up very high. Bridges connect every level so that people don't have to go up and down stairs all the time, and slides to get down are also common.

Liveras climate is warm all year round, making it ideal for many plants to grow. There are plenty of rivers that flow through the city, with most of them being mostly rapids. Livera has no caves anywhere nearby, and so cant get its own stone or metal, and relies on imports to supply them.

In the centre of the city, there is a giant statue of the God of Nature, where many people go to worship him. The statue is in an opening in the trees and has moss growing all over it. Water pools around the base of the statue.

The city is quite loose with its regulations, as it has no established borders. Anyone can enter or exit as they please and no one is forced into worshipping or respecting anyone, as long as they aren’t hateful.

### The Alchemists

The Liveran Alchemists are the most famous alchemists in the world. Known for their fast work and extremely skilled craftsmanship, they are the pride of both the High Alchemist and Livera in general and a major reason as to why Livera is such a prominent and bustling place. They make potions and enchantments of all kind, but are most known for poisonous enchantments.

### The Mages

Run by the Overviewer, the Liveran Mages are powerful spellcasters who are available to be paid to cast some spells, but their primary purpose is to enforce laws and defend the city.

### The Knights

Run by the True Knight, they are a group of organised mercenaries who can be paid to protect civilians, as well as defenders of Livera and a form of law enforcement. They are trained in fighting with many different close ranged weapons, as well as without weapons.

### The Archers

Run by the Marksman, they are a group of rangers trained to use guns and bows accurately from incredible distances and while jumping through the treetops. They can be hired to protect others, and they are the 3rd form of law enforcement/protection against invading forces that Livera has.

### The Priests

A congregation of devoted clerics and druids who will help the injured and in need free of charge. The Prophet of the Trees is their leader.

### The Merchants

The merchants are a group of shopkeepers, run by the Golden Merchant, who create and sell everything around Livera. They work with the Alchemists to enchant items. No one knows where their wealth comes from, but the Golden Merchant seems to have an infinite supply of gold.

### Bandits

A faction of criminals who cause chaos around the city. They have no leader and seem to be impossible to get rid of.
