Alo

An incredibly small fishing town that is nestled close to the bundle of mountains that form Henu Netjer. Surrounded by reeds and soft grasses, the town's primary means of income is it's hunt of the wild rabbits that roam the plains near it, and the fish they gather from the Niht river. They also farm cows and sheep on the plains.   The town only has 10-20 houses, most of which are a bit back from the banks of the Niht to avoid being flooded during the fall floods. A single stone bridge connects the two sides of the river.   There are a few main buildings:   The Elder's Home: The largest and oldest home in the town, built from a whole variety of materials. Inside is a very nice, homey, simple home with a table, kitchen, bedroom, and prayer room. Home to Frita.   The Temple: An old building, carved from bricks of stone from the mountainside of Henu Netjer. A multipurpose kind of temple, furnished on the inside with fabrics and rough ly hewnstatues of the gods that are similar to the ones inside Henu Netjer - gifts from Rane Arriene. Ran by Frita and her apprentice, Liss   Inn: Literally just named "The Inn". Made of stone and wood, seems somewhat newer than many of the buildings. Very small, only has 6 total rooms. Ran by a tired old guy named Ron.   The Watermills: They're fucking watermills, Iunno.   The Plains: Extend out into the desert for a mile or so before turning back into sand and dirt.   Some villagers: Torr,D'jana,Aldi,Maen,Xena,Nafir,Halven

Demographics

Primarily human, the older of the bunch seemingly with Dodeikan features- broad noses, darker-olive skin, darker hair.

Government

Ran by the citizens, though the village healer and elder Frita is often the one who they seek for guidance.

Industry & Trade

The village trades with travelers passing through the Niht river. It's a meager living, but they seem to get by and are fairly happy. Rane Arriene has personally watched the village grow into what it is today and likes to keep an eye on it.

Infrastructure

The Niht provides most water. There are two watermills built into the river that help process some of the grain grown on some of the plains.

Guilds and Factions

Untethered to any major factions, though it's proximity to Henu Netjer means it sees regular visits from the Hekan Guard.

History

Not an incredibly old village, originally made by immigrants into Heka from Dodeik. It's slowly grown and gained new members as travelers of the Niht have settled.

Architecture

A bit of a mish-mash. Some clay homes, some stone, some wood- whatever materials for building that can be found.

Geography

A grassy plain that surrounds the area of the Niht river at the base of the Henu Netjer mountain range.

Natural Resources

Rabbits, fish, natural grains and grasses.
