Thesead is a large mining town located in Gavel. Unlike some other Gavel towns such as Olux and Gelibord, Thesead is quite well-off with resources, as it is a mining city and is surrounded by numerous trees and farms. It is the largest city of three in the Canyon of the Lost and an important respawn point for the region. Thesead is located in a valley enclosed with few entrances; no hostile mobs spawn around it.
History
More than thirty years ago, Thesead was a very poor settlement that was going through chaos. Earthquakes caused by the Canyon Colossus had brought havoc to the town, making the city comparable to a dystopia. A short while after, the town had started to recover, with most citizens working as coal miners to sustain the city. Eventually, an unknown villager would remake the city, defending it against the Colossus as well as making the city economically prosperous. Due to this, unlike other cities in Gavel, Thesead has enjoyed peace throughout the years.[1] However, due to a recent toxic gas leak in the coal mines, the city will soon have troubles with its coal production.[2]
Similarly to other Villager-run cities in the province, Thesead is led by a Mayor, as well as their second-in-command, the Mining Chief. However, the mayor of Thesead has been having a secret love affair with the mayor of a nearby town, Eltom. This is especially scandalous due to the fact that Eltom is a Human city: Humans are not allowed to create towns in Gavel. The only people who know about this affair are the mayors of the two cities, and their child, Ardulf. Eltom's existence itself is a secret, something that Ardulf wishes to exploit to report the city to the Gavel Government and get rich out of it.[3]
