Veridica was a hidden village of Ferweth once created by a Utopian Crusader Sect, supposedly after getting shipwrecked and believing it was fated. Its founding fathers were interested in clockwork, and the overlap between automatons and living humanoid creatures. Leyline energy was being investigated here.
After the original founding father died, the cult was torn with a slow-burning leadership dispute. It eventually culminated in large part of the cult separating away, going to form Northpoint in the nearby area. Northpoint maintained its focus on clockwork whilst what remained of Veridica shifted into leyline research.
The village is believed to have collapsed and vanished, though given it was a secret village to begin with few can really confirm.

Secrets ahead!
While anyone is free to read what’s ahead, everything else in this article is privileged knowledge only known to a few specific people in the world of Vendrith. Take particular caution to not assume your character knows these things, or avoid it entirely if you’re worried about keeping your own and your characters’ knowledge separate!
After its supposed destruction, the village (devoid of life) reappeared in the Paradox Area in Horiza.
