Natalie's Village in Oz
For this assignment, I created a small village in Gillikin Country. In keeping with Gillikin surroundings, EVERYTHING is purple. All of the buildings are mounds in the ground, much like other Gillikin farmlands. This village is small and located near a small lake. The lake is at the southern most point in the village. In this lake, there are Lavender Fish, much like the Comet goldfish, but larger and purple. These fish are unique, as their taste harkens their name, a light lavender flavor through out.
Now, to the North of the village, there are the the crafting houses. These crafting houses are filled with bookmaking workshops, storytelling and writing workshops, illustration rooms, ink making rooms, paper making rooms, lettering rooms, prink making rooms and other crafting rooms. Now, one may wonder, how does one learn how to do all these things? Well, to the east, there is a large purple mound building which is a learning academy for all who wish to learn these trades to go and work in the craft houses. Even those who cannot pursue the life long career are allowed to learn there. Young and old, Ozian or not, all are welcome.
If you travel to the west of the village, you will find fields with many a purple plant. The people of this village both eat these vegetables and use the leaves to make purple ink. And finally, at the center of the village is a large fire pit. Every night, around this fire pit, the citizens of the village gather to hear new and old stories from both locals and travellers alike.
Now, you may have figured out what the main export of this village is... it is stories! Purple covered books are sent all through out the land of Oz, containing new and old stories alike. No one particularly noble lives in this town, but many a visitor do! Including that of Ozma of Oz, Queen of Emerald City! She herself may be a wise and kind ruler, but as she is still young, she does enjoy a travel every now and again to hear new stories from the citizens of this village.
One word of caution should you decide to visit, be wary of believing a villager too much, as they may just be spinning a story as they speak!
