Lamename Village, an idyllic suburban enclave that now forms part of the sprawling Mainland metropolitan area, has captivated the hearts of residents and visitors alike with its picturesque charm and enigmatic allure. Nestled atop the underground community of Seratapera, Lamename Village has a rich history dating back to its founding, boasting intricate designs and secrets concealed just beneath the surface.

Origins and Early Growth

Founded around the same era as the nearby town of Bree, Lamename Village emerged thanks to the visionary efforts of its illustrious founder, Saithvenomdrone, fondly known as Saith. In its nascent stages, the village was graced by the contributions of prominent figures such as Zyno, Gavasaurus, and 8310W_Z3R0, who played pivotal roles in its development. Lamename Village gained fame for its meticulous interior designs, often hinting at hidden depths and mysteries below.

Waves of Growth and Renewal

Throughout its storied history, Lamename Village has undergone cycles of growth and renewal, reshaping both its landscape and its identity. A pivotal moment in its evolution came when Saith embarked on an ambitious project, razed a substantial portion of the village, and rebuilt it anew. This transformation heralded an era of revitalization and creativity, setting the stage for Lamename Village's continued growth. Very little of the original village still exists. Two of the buildings were relocated to the Pennsy neighborhood in New Orange City.

Border Expansions and Legal Changes

Over time, the village's borders expanded beyond its original limits. Although initially designated as a village, its legal boundaries have extended southward to encompass the rural communities between Lamename Village and the town of New Haven further to the south. This expansion has cemented Lamename Village's status as a vital part of the Mainland metropolitan area.
