Camp Lyricus

Lyricus is a Safe House and is the largest gypsy camp located at the northeast point of Meridianus's ancient lands. The camp is known to hold a majority of magic users that has immigrated from the region of Libertus. The leader of this camp is Vaati Det'kuoli, a male ahool who recently gained owner ship when the original founder, Marrik Det'kuoli passed in 1739. The camp has welcomed all who shows no threat for 1200 years. The boarders are lined with rangers and guards, elders of multiple magic/superhuman abilities, who protect the land from outsiders. Within this camp the people live in caravans that stretch vast upon the hills, travellers are offered self-made tents to the centre of the camp.

## **General**

The camp, founded in 562 was a secret safe house and was not fully open to the public until 749. Originally a safe-camp for soilders who has survived the civil war of Meridianus. The camps founder, Marrik Det'kuoli, compared to the site to the first documented safe-house Faewood, and it later was known for all travellers security. Upon following the safe house guidelines spoken by Morphians, the camp goes by 7 rules to all that enter.

1. **I shall not kill**
2. **I shall not harm**
3. **I shall not deceit**
4. **I shall not fight**
5. **I shall not discriminate**
6. **I shall not hate**
7. **I shall retain my mortal rights.**

The camp leader gives no 'second chances' should you be caught as a abuser, the torture and punishment of your crime is dealt in the centre of the camp in public shame or execution. A warning to travellers to maintain peace.
