From the journal of Ardebast Raconteur:

Lancton lies on Pelaria’s southern border with the Wild Territory. It is the last line of defense against an incursion of the Wild. Befitting its military background, Lancton’s emblem is not surprisingly, the lance.

You would expect a military outpost to be a grim and serious place. And while the townsfolk do take their roles as defenders of the peace seriously, Lancton is a surprisingly jovial place to visit. My take on it, is that when you are continually faced with the threat of danger and death, you learn to embrace life to the fullest while you can.

In that light, with the notable exception of Sixtus, Lancton has more festivals than any other town in the land. They celebrate just about anything you can imagine there. My personal favourite is Spoon Day, where they celebrate the creation of the spoon. The traditional meal for Spoon Day, soup of course. Sure it may be silly, but oh, the soup is sublime!

While they never fail to warn visitors of the dangers of travelling near the border, Lancton is a welcoming place. No fur is turned away from its gates…at least from the Pelarian side. Furs trying to gain access from the Wild side however, will not receive as warm a welcome.

Carja’s Notes:

As I was drawing the map of Pelaria, I thought there should be more towns. That’s why I added the town that would eventually become Lancton. My memory is fuzzy, but I seem to recall that I came up with the lance bit AFTER I came up with the name, rather than the other way around as you would expect. Prior to writing this entry, the lance emblem was the only thing I’d decided on about the town.
