Overview
Fior is the northern agricultural village of Lagadagr, specializing in grain and livestock production. Paradoxically, despite being the island’s food producer, Fior is the most impoverished of the three settlements due to Iler’s crushing monthly tribute system. The village struggles to feed its own people as most grain and livestock are sent to Mirmozha as tribute.
Fior is led by Jarl Uric - once High King of all Lagadagr - who stepped down from power after his son Eric Valorin’s mysterious death six years ago. The elderly, grief-stricken leader maintains a simple wooden longhouse and governs a village operating on barter and self-sufficiency with no markets or shops.
Children in Fior go days without eating, homes have been burned as punishment for missed tributes, and the village’s survival depends on Cara’s new leadership restoring prosperity.
