Toula Village

Toula Village is an agricultural village in the Forlorn Universe.

History
Toula village was created many years ago, by a group of nomads who splintered away from the hunting society of Pacren. The people of Toula wanted to live a more stable, peaceful life, and thus founded the farming village of Toula. They had followed the river that flowed south, eventually reaching the Arach Sea. It began as a small settlement, and was constantly under threat by beasts in the area. The hostility of the beasts frequently brought about the destruction of crops and made life difficult for the earliest settlers, who had never been interested in hunting, and thus lacked the knowledge of how to aptly deal with the threat. Eventually, their prayers were answered when a mysterious hunter named Morzin appeared. He protected the village, slaying all the beasts who kept threatening it's peace. While he never lived in the village himself, he always appeared whenever danger arose, and under his protection, the village was able to expand into a more sizeable operation.

Culture
The people of Toula are a agricultural society, their culture revolves around the harvest and the land itself. The people elect a mayor, who is usually the village elder, to be the mediator in any village disputes. Despite this title, the mayor's duties are frequently not required, as most of it's citizens are docile and self sufficient. There is no police force, because there has never been any serious dispute between the citizens. During times of harvest, the people will often hold ceremonial rituals to please the godess of Earth, and the Godess of Nature.
