Tharravil

Tharravil is a mountain village sitting on top of the richest goldmine in the world. The peasants’ houses are roofed in gold, and all their domestic utensils are made of the metal. The village itself is built up the side of a shining white mountain, and a stream falls through the centre in a series of picturesque waterfalls. A series of ledges are covered with highly fertile soil, so the villagers rarely need to trade, and when they do send out a caravan of gold, they do so in great secrecy and hand it over directly to the Duke of Montfort.

Or so the stories go. Most people don’t believe Tharravil actually exists, but a few scouts and explorers swear that they have been there. One even had what appeared to be a solid gold roof-tile, but he was found dead with the tile missing a couple of days later.
