Notable Features

Visitors frequently remark upon a clock tower that has never told the correct time. Equally noteworthy is an underground river accessible by ancient stairs, which has drawn scholars and the merely curious alike.

A tight-knit community of 1,200 who claim descent from a single ancestor. Every home maintains a candle that must never be extinguished. These traditions are observed with varying degrees of consistency.
