Hillborghan people are deeply divided between the eastern areas that have known war and the western that haven’t. People from West-Hillborgh are generally wealthy and of good health. Similar to Tratea and Argari, West-Hillborgh has a culture of generosity. Citizens from the western part of the province value good food and good company. It is said that Hillborghan coastal cities never sleep. The Cloche family clearly favours the richer western part of Hollborgh. People from West-Hillborgh are often very proud of their province and greatly support their governing family during the Lorian elections. People from East-Hillborgh are aware that the war is never too far away. Many people who now live in Lorian territory have lived under Eandalian rule when the Eandalian offense against Loria was at its height. Much of the then conquered territory has now been reconquered by the Lorian military. People do not forget the war so easily however and while most are grateful for the peace they are now living in, many people remain wary of the Cloches and the Lorian rule. Similar to Koldbach, the eastern part of Hillborgh have many aristocratics who secretly wish for the Eandalian rule to return.
