Village

Village, in Overlord, covers the ordinary settlements of the New World, from the farming communities of human nations like the Re-Estize Kingdom to the tribal villages of demi-humans. A village lives off its fields and what the surrounding forest yields, and apart from doctors and herbalists its only regular visitors are the tax collectors who come in autumn. Copper and silver are the working currencies of the Kingdom's villages, where gold pieces barely appear, and herbs gathered from the countryside make up much of what cash a village sees. Frontier villages sit where monsters appear most often, and everyone in one works together as a single household, sharing farm tools and livestock. How a chief is chosen varies: in Carne Village the villagers discuss it and every one of them has to agree, while among the lizardman tribes it can come down to combat or to tradition.
