Wahm
This Mwandu village is built around a core area (called the Square by residents, though the common area is not square at all) with a couple of shops, a bakery, an inn, and a meeting hall. This center is surrounded at a little distance by the homes of the villagers, most of whom are farmers. Although the houses are relatively close together, the farm fields stretch out all around the village and are planted mostly with various grains. Locals also raise sheep and goats, although they seldom raise the larger beef cattle herded by tribes to the north of the Wambatu River.
Wahm has the advantage of being just a few miles from the newest bridge over the Wambatu River, so the villagers have an easy way to travel north if they want to trade with tribes on the other side of the river. (Few care to get that far from home, of course.) Sometimes, itinerant traders from the Moglai or other northern tribes come south and set up shop temporarily in Wahm because of its convenient location. Also, people from neighboring villages and outlying regions must pass through the area of Wahm to get to the bridge, so that has made it a central village in the area though it is certainly no larger than the others.
