Noctua

Located on the Northeast side of the Island of Vale, the town of Noctua acts as port and trading hub for its scattered hamlets and for the Collegium. It sits on a crescent bay and features narrow streets that wind and switchback up the slopes upon which the town is built. Noctua features an unusual number of skilled tradespeople for a town of its size; the Collegium supplies almost all of the business of these craftspeople. Other main features of the town are its fleet of fishing boats, the grand Covered Market with its stained glass windows cut and leaded by the first glass artist to emigrate to Vale, Valiee, and the great copper presses that create the town's main export; olive oil.
