Libba

Short Description of Libba

(in progress)

A newly liberated region of Madina, Libba has come under the control of Samuel Quasath thanks to the generosity of Grand Doge Abbot Nosferatus.

Economy

Although it has a prominent and lengthy shoreline, it isn't a rich fishing region. This is most likely due to the high cliffs that make the ocean border. These cliffs, though acclaimed by locals for their natural beauty and supposedly haunted caves, make fishing close to shore dangerous. Most of the fishing boats go north into the bay.

The fields of Libba are rich in nutrients, making farming the primary job of the region. Farmers have the luxury of owning large swathes of land from which to reap their living. The weather provides lots of rain, thanks to the ocean winds colliding with the hot air from the north-west desert.

Traditions

There are *four* traditional dances in Libba. There are dances from three of the major villages in Libba, and one dance they all share. It's based around the seasons, and each village gets their moment throughout the year. The spring dance is from the mining village of Threepeaks (named tongue-in-cheek after the three hills it was founded near). The dance is performed inside the hills to avoid the heavy spring rain. The summer dance is done on fishing boats off the coast of the Bacull village. It's much cooler on the water. The autumn dance is held in the fields of Salanch, celebrating the harvest. The final dance is held indoors, whereever and whenever a family feels the desire for a party during the cold winter months. It's a wild, free-flowing dance that depends more on mood than set steps.
