Slandermouth

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Slandermouth is a coastal wizarding village located in Northwest England. It is well known for it's sandy beaches and frequent street markets held in and around the town square. Many Slandermouthers live in residential buildings such as Hippogriff Heights, but others do have cottages and homes with a great view of the beach as well. It's common for homes to up on stilts to avoid the wet weather.

The town square has a giant jarvey statue with a dead gnome in it's mouth. While Slandermouth is quite overrun by jarveys, their presence has kept the gnomes away. Many of the residents have grown desensitized to the barrage of insults they hear from these overgrown ferrets, others respond with frustration and threaten to leave, though they never do. Some of the jarveys have taken to narrating the townsfolk as they go about their day, with plenty of insults thrown in.

The leader of the jarveys, Jarvey Joe, is ancient and arthritic, though his slander is the nastiest of them all. Many look at him with a mixture of admiration and distress.
