Dernier Jivic
Technically two seprate villages and a fort with Dernier Jivic referring to just the fortified town, with Jivic referring to the Dragconic tribe that lives there. Originally a tribal hill fort for the Draconic Jivic tribe, as the forest was pushed back, Rivellian nobles bought the land to set up a motte and Baily as a launching post for their hunts.
History
The Jivic tribe tells stories of the land before the 'coming of the soft-skinned'. According to these stories, after the Phervian's broke the Draconic empire, those east of the mountains were forgotten and left alone. The once proud city that once dominated the area fell into decline as trade ceased. and the population shank from disease and starvation. Many groups fell back into small societies based around villages, as nature reclaimed the land. The Jivic settled in the area taming the local Maulvre, occasionally trading with other tribes and eventually the Iorn beards when they reopened their hold. Migrants joined the tribe from the east, with some Shifters arriving from the north.Early Rivell
When the first Rivellians arrived and claimed the area, the Jivic took the opportunity to trade with the newcomers, increasing ideas in architecture, art, and society. The Tribal elite became more like knights than warriors, with paintings and songs filling their homes. As the relationship grew Jivic often became a stopping point for Rivell hunters, with a small fortified shrine being built to The Goddess being built a little outside the village in a clearing.Rivellian Village
As the forest started to clear in the western part of Orslon, nobles coming for the thrill started setting up base camps closer to Jivic. The Jivic Elder, seeing an opportunity, had his people work on a road from the fortified shrine to Orslon, Rivell was doing it in reverse, promising to support the expeditions with mounts, provisions, and guilds. This led to the village popping up around the shrine while a large outer wall was built to protect it. The Nobles built a large hunting keep to the Northeast which has its own staff for most of the year but swells in the autumn when nobles and their 'camp followers' arrive.Layout
Fortified Village
A small village was built around the Shirne of The Goddess Syolfip. This was surrounded by a wooden palisade, giving enough room for farms and pens. The large open area north of the houses is used for pens to keep livestock and slaughter animals. A market area surrounds the shrine with the ye olde hunter tavern. The buildings are wooden planks that have been treated against the elements and a thatch roof.Tribal village
The Tribal village is just south of the main one. A grand hall stands in the middle as the Eldar's home with a small square in front for traders and visitors to ply their craft, surrounding these is a ring of storehouses and workshops the village continues out in rings. The buildings here are all wattle and dorb with thatch roofing.Hunting Keep
The hunting Keep is a small walled-off keep with several nice rooms above a main hall for feasting. servant quarters and storage rooms are below the keep with an area for camp followers to set up tents outside but within the walls.Maps
