Bezpciow

Bezpciow is a fictional village and civil parish in the eastern part of the imagined country of Veridia. It serves as the administrative center of Bezpciow Municipality and lies along the Lysa River, amid rolling meadows and woodlands. The name is thought to derive from early Slavic elements, with bez meaning without and pciow connected to a word for pits, reflecting a historic absence of natural pits in the area. The settlement dates to the 13th century and grew around a crossroads and farms.

Geography and history: The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cold winters. The village rests on fertile soils suitable for cereals and vegetables.
