Lyre

The southernmost island of Lyre is an artistic scion, populated by poets, musicians, painters and actors. Having very little productive capacity itself, Lyre depends heavily on the coin of visitors, which they rapidly spend on importing staple goods from other islands. For most, the lifestyles on Lyre tend to be meager, bordering on ascetic. The most successful bards and artisans usually wind up in foreign lands, entertaining nobility and earning accolades - but a fraction of these success stories will return to Lyre to become professors or patrons.
