Risea Village
Risea is one of the many villages in the Bekari Region, of the (Insert Dealer's Choice of Duchy), of the Galerian Imperium. Being in East Bekari means it is a matriarchally governed village, with the village chieftain usually being the highest ranked, retired-from-the-military woman. Risea is set right at the base of Bekar Mountain, on the banks of the Rubioth River. This proximity to the mountain makes it both the entry point to the mountain villages, as well as home to a largely military, active and retired, population.Risea is home to around two thousand hobgoblins and two thousand others, half of which are human. The primary industries in the modern era are largely timbering the mountain forests, mining ores and quarrying stone from the mountain. The village does have a bit more of the crafting industry compared to the other villages in the valley, known for its metalworks, woodworks, and charcoal productions. Roughly half of the finished goods are distributed within Bekar, with the other half being exported out to the rest of Galerian Imperium via their rivers.
Risea is one of the oldest of the villages, and was the first to be rebuilt after Bekar joined the Galerian Imperium. Much of the culture and traditions are still passed down orally. It is expected of all Riseans to know both the history of Risea as well as that of Bekar, and it is expected for parents to pass these traditions and stories down to their children directly.
Being so close to the mountain villages, and home to many military veterans, nearly all Riseans enter the military, and do so proudly. And most tend to return home after service, to establish families and continue on their lineages.
