Architecture

Housing in Llanyre comprises an eclectic mix of nineteenth century stone and brick housing, with newer, more modern housing schemes currently under development.
The houses here are similar to those found in the D&D 5th edition campaingn, "Curse of Strahd". As it is a haunted ghost town, with evil beings roaming the street. Some say the evil vampire Strahd still resides here, lurking in the night, waiting to pounce on his next group of level 1 adventrures.
All of the houses here appear to be run down. With one completely in ruin in the middle of the street, where the previous lord once lived. It was claimed to have been blown up in a terrorist attack by an unknown party some years ago.

Residents

The residents here are starving to the brim, and unable to leave due to the deadly mist surrounding the town. They all appear to worship some ancient cult, where those who appear to be unhappy are bunished into the mist.
