Tallum is the 3rd oldest Canton in Norlund |
Tallum is the 3rd oldest Canton in Norlund. A relatively quaint settlement, Tallum sits on the coast of Lake Vatican, and is known for its lighthouse and verdant farmland. It is a low density settlement, with a large footprint due its homes and places of business. It had a relatively large cathedral near its northern border, prior to the redevelopment of the area. |

The Vatican City is apart of Tallum, resting on a island in the middle of the lake, with the majority of the structures being built Leobonet, with varying aid from several other citizens. It sits on the island of Sanctuary within the namesake Vatican Lake, and is known for being a major site for Norlundic Christendom. Headed by Pope Leobonet, the Vatican City the site of significant development. While the full plan for the Vatican has not fully been realized, it's still a site to behold. One of the, what will be, the largest buildings are under construction here: the cathedral of Saint Lucia. The Vatican, specifically the cathedral of Saint Lucia is marked as an international heritage site, and was the first site to be done so in the entire north west. |
