Moharia

A swampland to the north of the Capital City - home of mercenaries, bandits and thieves alike. All who are unwelcome in any other area are welcome in Moharia, as long as they can fend for themselves and protect the small town from any nighttime invaders. A strong sense of community has been built in this town

Leader of Moharia
Moharia has no leader, but all who reside there look to Teryn Karaisa Gorm for help when they need it, as the only representative of the Ophidian Underclass to sit in on Council meetings.

Geography
The houses in Moharia are built high, some reaching up into the treelines on their wooden stilts to combat the fluctuating water levels of the swamplands. Many houses are badly water damaged, but the relaxed, almost drunken air of Moharia prevents the residents from minding it too much. The local tavern helps, too.

A large watchtower is the tallest structure in the town, sections of it reaching high above the trees scattered amongst the houses - taking up the smallest groundspace, the watchtower and its many bells act as a lookout point for the night watch.

The Community
A handful of residents keep cattle on the nearby wetlands, the creatures having being kept there for long enough that the breed has adapted specifically to survive in the marsh, with slightly larger legs for keeping upright in moving water, and thick matted fur to keep the cold from reaching their hides

Daytime
During the day, most of the residents of Moharia can be found lurking the streets and ports of the capital city, earning their living by selling their trades, goods and services, while others tend to their cattle in the marshes or care for the small number of children in the town.

Nighttime
When the sun goes down the community come together more strongly than any other time. Strange beasts lurk in the marshes at night, and a watch is kept from the watchtower by two people a night, each vowing to stay awake and ring the bell if anything approaches. There hasn't been an incident in almost a hundred years, but all vow that nothing shall happen on their watch.

The Flag and The Pride
The flag of Moharia is a large black-and-white ancient lizard head on a purple diagonal cross with a red background. This flag is seen on almost every house and structure in Moharia, and engraved into the four posts placed around the well in the centre of the town.
