The People

The old are weary and the young are up to no good.

Questions

Why Here?

Because its near the Siegen's Stones
There is also a ford in the river nearby and because of the Erstvolk Ruins that could be exploited.

What Does the Village Provide?

It provides a place for soldiers (particularly from Vurbiogihin) to have a place to relax and unwind.
It also provides manufactored goods, particularly metal ones.

What Does It Lack?

Farms - it gets most of its good from grazers and ranchers.
There is also a lack of trust: the powers that be are super corrupt.

What Threatens It?

The Thieves and Goat Eaters are struggling for control.
And, if the corruption gets worst, they'll bring in the Brynholder Clan or Amalrioker Clan to clean house.

How does it Protect Itself?

Stealthy violence and bribes. As long as the system is moving, things will continue but, the moment there is an issue, the whole system will explode.

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?
