Villages of Leirr

Villages of Leirr is an area of heathlands and grasslands that surrounds both riverbanks of Loch Leirr and Loch Land. The namesake of this geographical location is the fact that on an average of two to three hours of walking you will stumble on a village, and the lakes are named after the first ruler of the lands, called Leirr. There are 8 known and recorded settlements, By the master of inkeep, that resides in this area. The villages are run by one noble Governor from the Durthane Clan, Usually the head of the clan. They are still believing in the old gods and partake in ceremonies for them, which they invite their citizens to join. Unlike the other clans they do not enforce their belives on the commoners but they do not work with or hire those who do not worship the old gods.
The Village practice mostly in fishery and farming. Some craftsmen and artisen work in the village. Some smites also provide the villages with ploughs, shovels, trowels, hoes, forks, and rakes. Rare is the smite who can craft a decent sword and shield, And those that do are employed by the governor of the region.

Worship

The villages are a great place of worship for the Fertility goddess Eqwana and her sister, The Cleansing Waters, Sequana.

History

Over the past years, the other dwarven clans kept on insisting to come and "cleanse" the land of its connection to the fey. It is said that the Otherworld has a very strong presence in Lierr and many starts to wonder if the Durthane Clan is on the side of the enemies. Sometimes one of the other eleven clans would start a small skirmish on a village if the reason is good, like a child abducted by a hag or they heard a portal to the Otherworld has open in the middle of Leirr. Most of the time Lugen, the current Govrner does not interest, but if the army the clans send is too big to his liking he will retaliate. This tense situation is kept for the past fifty years.

Fauna & Flora

Because of the appetence of others, many ancestries who are shunned in Highrune find their home in one of the villages.
