Terps

Terps are artificial hills with buildings on them, created to not be flooded by high tides, storm surges and other hostile waterforms. In the past of the Netherlands, there were many terps in the North near the North Sea. Most historical terps have been flooded in the 21st century, but new ones have been created by residents that refused to flee further south.
Terps in the 22nd century are mostly located near or in the Drowned Lands, with nearby farmlands to produce enough food for all villagers. These tend to be heavily walled, as a line of defense against raiders. This also is why farmlands tend to be separated from the houses, to reduce the required line of defense.
