The village of Orilla


The village of Orilla was the first civilized community discovered on Meropis, after the coastal storms of 506 AF cleared a route from the Vasnari Mountains to the eastern half of the continent. The Gulf of Nilakantha to the north serves as a popular harbour for travelers.

Geography

Orilla is located upon the continent of Meropis, on the coast of the Daoric Plains. The village is nestled at the northern end of the Nilakantha River as it empties into the Gulf of Nilakantha.

Inhabitants

The villagers of Orilla are reffered to as "Orillans".

Culture

Wearing little more than loincloths, the people of Orilla have light brown skin and ebony hair. Most villagers wear several long, beaded necklaces around their necks, and some exhibit tattoos down their limbs. Only a few villagers wear animal hides around their shoulders, marking them as the village elders.

Orillans appear to speak Achaean, greeting travelers with a promise of rest.

Shops

West of the Orillan harbour is a small general store, administered by the merchant Lilen. Yaima runs a bait shop on the eastern edge of the village, and Pichi sells a small selection of food.

Notable locations

There is a newsroom located in the village meeting hall.
