Fidayan camp

Demographics

All Fidayan, all banished, all poor.

Government

They are a tribe of people, all answering to one tribe leader - kind of like their own royal family.

Industry & Trade

There are hunters and gatherers, and there are seamstresses and cooks. Everyone has a job, and everyone is happy to do it.

Infrastructure

Tents. Comfortable tents, really, but still - just tents. Only in recent years have they begun trying to build stronger homes - huts, and the like, with wood and mud. It is slow going. They have their own well, a separate bath area, attached to a small lake close by.

Assets

Literally nothing. These people have nothing of value.

History

This hamlet wasn't always there. These people were banished from Inqaa, centuries ago, and have been living here ever since. The current al-Malik knows they're there, and they're kept alive because their blood is precious to him - because it is vital in the creation of al-Ilaj, which is VERY important to him.

Architecture

Their tents are what was given to them, strengthened by the leather and hide of different animals. The new hut prototype is made from wood from the trees. They have high hopes for those huts. The well is made of river stones stacked together with mud.

Geography

It is in al-Ard so it has beautiful surroundings - of course, being so close to al-Nahr. The trees are tall, and shade them from the hot sun, the flowers bloom, and there is a magic in the air, from al-Hadiqah, that makes them happier than you'd expect, considering they live in tents (and almost huts). At night, the canopy up ahead isn't thick enough to obstruct their view of the millions of tiny stars in the pitch black stars. And sure, maybe they don't have the best lives, but those stars keep their hope alive, their spirits up, and their smiles wide. Things could be worse.

Natural Resources

Wood from trees. They can't grow many crops, but they do have a grain crop, and some other vegetable crops (tomatoes, cucumbers) - but they get most of their food wares from the haris who visit them once a year. Forest animals feed them - foxes, rabbits, birds, squirrel, the occasional bear, deer, and fish from the nearby lake - though that's kind of a delicacy.
