Pilvin Koti

From Dreams of Hope

A small city, located on the Rabbiton Road between the Sea of Grass and Godsfall where the True Fire Road branches off toward True Hold. This is the traditional seat of the Green Lady, the spiritual leader for the ihmisi tribes of Kotimaa.

Population

Roughly 2,000, but strongly seasonal. Swells to 6,000 during the winter as local tribes arrive.

  • 60% ihmisi (but mostly seasonal)
  • 35% human/half-elf (mostly permanent)
  • 5% others, with a significant orcish population

Permanent ihmisi settlers are mostly elderly, crafters, and invalids (pregnant, injured, very young children and mothers, etc). The seasonal residents live in the woods during the late spring and summer and come back for the harvest and the winter. The human population carries the weight of the farming.

History

For much of the Council Lands history, this was the northernmost "official" settlement, and was much smaller. The rediscovery and repopulation of Godsfall brought significantly increased trade. With the end of the council system and the formation of the Successor States, the population has mushroomed and become much more permanent.

Leadership

This is the Pilvi tribe center and so is governed by a two-person council composed of Chief Shaman Ukko il Pilvi and Warleader Ahti il Pilvi.

Chief Shaman Ukko
an ancient woman, Chief Shaman Ukko has been part of the Green Lady’s court in the past and also worked with the Council as part of the Forestry Guild representation before the breakup of the Council Lands. She is a calming influence on the hotheaded tribesmen (and women), and is personally dedicated to the Duarchy. She can cast 1st level spells from the Healer list and cantrips, 1st, and 2nd level spells from the Spiritualist list.
Warleader Ahti
the grandson of the Chief Shaman, Ahti is new to his role and chafes under the restraint of his grandmother. He craves adventure and is quite a bit of a hothead.
