Krom's Village

The village of the Grandfather owl clan is surrounded by grassland plains with some rolling hills. Small shrubs and a nearby stream that is about three feet across in the summer, ten in the winter, best describe the area around the village.

From the outside it is a three circles of grass and mud huts (very similiar to those found in Kenya), the outer circle holding twenty huts, the second holding thirteen, the third circle holding six huts. In the direct center is the meeting hall made to hold the entire population of the village. Outside the meeting hall is a large pit for ceremonial bonfires. Around the village is a ditch and a wooden spike fenced palisade of sorts. The logs were dragged in long ago and treated with a compound to make them last, though some need to be replaced now and again. Some aren't as sturdy as they use to be at the moment.

The huts are large enough to house anywhere form seven to fifteen Akicitia depending on the size of a family. The huts are circular and about eight feet tall at the sides (Akiticia are tall people). Low benches circle around the inside wall, personal things are hung on walls or put under benches. Some food and herbs are hung from the ceiling. A smoke hole is in the middle of the ceiling, fire pit below it in the ground lined with rocks. The clan maintains a heard of animals that is usually protected by the young adults or older children. And small plot gardens are kept to suppliment anything found wild. A communical food storage area is underneath the gathering hall.

Good roleplaying opportunities here would be to gather supplies or rumors, or bring rumors. Perhaps they need healing and the shaman here might be able to offer it for a price. The village is well protected, but maybe the PC's know of a threat which if they told the Akicitia ahead of time might save the them from disaster. Also if they are looking for particular Akicitia only weapons (like Akicitia spears and bolos) maybe they can trade for those.
