Places of Interest[edit]
The Great Oak – a huge tree in the north of the town; despite the large number of battles and sieges the town has experienced, the tree has never fallen, been cut down, or burned. It is heavily scarred and damaged, but still flourishes. The local legend says that so long as the tree lives, Orveaux will stand, and so long as Orveaux stands, the Kingdom will not fall.

The Shrine - The road is joined by a tertiary track leading north, into the surrounding plains and farmlands. Directly across from this track, on the south side of the road, is a shrine of some kind, fashioned of stone and wood. Closer inspection reveals it holds a statue of St. Siveri Montoliu, the Patron of Travelers. He stands in the shrine with upturned hands cupped, on which you can drop a coin for good fortune.
