BLAVEK
The capitol of Tamlaght and Princess Bronwyn's home for the first 18 years of her life. An ancient city whose name derives from the words "blavis", "root", and "vekken", "soul" (though some scholars argue for the derivation "blavvo", "happy" and "vekt","suet pudding", or even "bla", "capitol" and "vek", "city"). The city is a bastion of religion-inspired intellectual and sexual repression.
