This Village, though small, is one of the very few villages in the Human Kingdom that has the fortune of being closer to the Elven Borders. This means that nearby Elven Villages often take pity on them during hard times. This means that the livestock and people are well fed, and in comparison with most of the other Human Villages, this Village is among the richer places.
The buildings are in good repair, the animal enclosures sturdy, containing well fed animals. Children are happy, curious, with little fear of strangers. Men and Women alike walk proudly, and it is here that many young women take off on their own to the Elven Kingdom to become woman warriors.
Horses, many showing signs of crossing with the Elven breeding stock, wander, grazing on the lush grass. Sheep flock together, fat and healthy, with good wool. Lambs frolic about, butting heads with goat kids. Chickens, one of the ever present livestock animals in any Human populace, peck and strut about, roosters crowing about their most recent conquests. Even a few milk cows, hard to come by in the Human Kingdom, wander in among the horses. Pigs root industrially in their sty.
Along the edge of the Village runs a clear stream, powering a small grain mill. Fields are well seeded each year, and yield a serviceable crop, due to the richer soil. The usual products of the crops are corn, barley, wheat, potatoes, and flax.
