	The divide between rich and poor often shows through in southerners’ clothing. The nobles and wealthy merchants dress in elaborate, ostentatious outfits suited to the warm climate - with a fine hat considered the ideal accessory - while peasants mostly wear simple and much-repaired tunics. Those with money favour one-handed swords and bucklers suitable for fighting in the streets and aboard ships.		The divide between rich and poor often shows through in southerners’ clothing.

	The Heart of Earth is a broad, sheltered valley in the southwest of the realm. There are no villages or even houses, but great herds of cattle and sheep roam the lush meadows alongside deer and other creatures. The few humans who live there follow the herds in wagons and on foot, and at the end of every summer they hold a great festival that draws the common folk from far and wide, celebrating the blessing of the [[spirits]] of [[Earth]] and the bonds between all people - and the sacrifices offered up at each festival are said to ensure the bounty of the harvest throughout the realm.

			Unlike Suddene, the busy market town of Chipping Hythe is weathering the Breaking relatively well. Although it does have a port it has stronger ties to the land than the treacherous sea. Fields and farms still need to be defended against monsters, of course, but the local landlords usually have enough money to pay for guards and weapons. The harvest is going ahead more or less as usual and there may even be a decent surplus of valuable grain.
