Relationships

Birgliyti

Is a trading post for the Birgliyti elves
There are a disportionate amount of Birgliyti elves serving in the garrison as a way to avoid taxes but it's actually a way that they can steal knowledge from the humans and sabotage their efforts.

Cross of Frodwald

The soldiers of Ilfinwachi have tried to repair the Cross of Frodwald after its destruction but due to successful sabotage by Birgliyti soldiers in the garrison, the work was abandoned.

Livon's Otters

The captain of the Ilfinwachi, The Goblin Antun, likes his fine good and wears and the only way he can get it via the Livon's Otters which visit him regularly with new things to buy.

Prensuchdt

The Ilfinwachi has a small port that ferries from Prensuchdt can stop at.

Vurbiogihin

There is friendly rivalry between the garrison of the Vurbiogihin and the garrison of the Ilfinwachi where they often compete in tourneys - usually about once a month.

Kynobirtheim

The smith of Kynobirtheim is well known. Every month, he creates an item that he donates to the Ilfinwachi which is than given, randomly, to one of the soldiers.
Most of the metal manufactured goods in Prensuchdt come from Kynobirtheim via the ferry at Ilfinwachi.

Seigen's Stones

The elves of Ilfinwachi have spread rumors of werewolves in Kynobirtheim and Tyrmdrihin. They say they force the curse of victims at the Seigen's Stones.

Questions

Why Here?

Keep the ferry safe
Protect the roads between it and Stionhays and it and Vurbiogihin

What Does the Village Provide?

Safety and patrols

What Does It Lack?

Farm infrastructure
Any sort of comfort
It’s a military outpost that was picked due to its strategic location, not its farming
Importing food from Prensuchdt, Kynobirtheim, and Grynizilt
Importing creature comforts from Livon's Otters

What Threatens It?

Elf sabotage

How does it Protect Itself?

It doesn’t: it’s not aware of the sabotage and so gets a bad reputation.

What Are the Norms?

Traditions, Beliefs, Religions, etc. What does the average person value? What are its Traditions? What beliefs does everyone have? What are the major and minor religions? How do the people see themselves?
