Varan District
UPDATE #2: The Varan Village has now been transformed into its own district on the eastern side of the Free City. It houses many Varan commoners, and is protected by 500 Varan Huscarls, all of whom swear their allegiance to Lady Aia Heijra, who in turns swears allegiance to Lord Ildesias. Any who wish to attack the Free City from the east must first fight the Varan here. The Varan are capable warriors who will not back down from a fight, but are also a good, cheerful, hardy folk with a love of food, drink, and song. The Varan hunt the forests, work as lumberjacks, fishermen, miners, tailors, traders, merchants, and more. |

Aia Heijra and Kyra quickly patrolled through the small Varan encampment on the side of the city. "Rather primitive compared to the city folk, no?"
Aia smirked at Kyra and replied, "we'll renovate. See if you can't find messenger birds in the city. Contact Asgeir, invite more warriors to our cause. Brothers, sisters, it does not matter."
Kyra nodded and trotted off back to the city to contact Asgeir. Aia was envisioning the camp's future, trying to decide where to put the village longhouse, which served as a sort of 'governors' building, and would also house Aia and her servants. She was also debating where to put the stables, in case horses were bought.
A group of women had finished putting up a large tent, big enough for a king to sleep in during war. "The Gods' blessings to you," she said, entering it and lying down for a moment to rest.

Aia patrolled the camp and made sure everything was in working order. The Varan had put their tents up, most of them rather larger than a typical tent, but which accommodated multiple Varan. Chainmail armor had been stored on various totems and other poles, while shields, axes, and swords lay against them nearby. Many of the shield-sisters rested by several campfires spread throughout the camp, and they spoke of tales and legends. The dock was just a single pier which didn't stretch to far into the crossing. The five longships had been hauled closer to the camp to make constructing the camp easier. "M'lady, a group of refugees have settled in the southwest," Kyra approached and told Aia. Aia squinted her eyes as she thought for a moment. "Refugees?" The word rang throughout her head. Refugees were prime allies for the Varan; that just meant they needed someone to go help them - whether it be with arms or combat. "Thanks," Aia began, "I shall go at once to meet with their Warchief. You may stay here and rest, Kyra-" "No sister," Kyra interrupted. "I shall come along." Aia smiled and shook her head, "fine, fine. Come then." <Exit to Solarion Refugee Camp> |

It didn't take to many weeks before Varan mercenaries sailed down the Eastern River Crossing, from Asgeir to the Free City, and took refuge at Aia's encampment. With more manpower, and supplies, the camp was converted into a typical Varan village.
The Varan here like to hunt in the Free Plains' forests, like to work as woodsmen, explorers, bodyguards, mercenaries, adventurers, and more. Some of the more refined Varan have come seeking new things to learn.
The village is large enough, and the Varan population adequately sized, to be recognizable as its won district: an extension of the Free City.
They swear their loyalty first and foremost to Aia Heijra, the warchief, and then to the Free City, which they will protect with their lives.

From their farms and towns spread across the Free Plain, comes a mob of angry peasants: men, women, and even children. Wielding the weapons of their trade, be it a pitchfork, shovel, hunting bow, or pickaxe, they come with undeniable anger, yelling and roaring out at those who would dare get in their way. There is no discipline with these people. How many are heroes, and how many are cowards? Out in the hills they've conspired for some time, finally deciding to split into two groups. The first group goes to the Kiraxo-Torsal Fort, while the second group heads for the Varan Village.
The second group arrives just outside the district known as the Varan Village, waving their pitchforks and shovels at the Varan within as well. "This is our home," they yell. "Leave now, or else!" They roar and cry, determined to make these folk leave. "We don't need you smelly Varan in our lands! Take your stink back up the river!" Like at the Kiraxo-Torsal Fort, they pick up rocks and launch them at the Varan within.

Aia had been awaiting the arrival of some new Varan mercenaries - this time with a sizeable group of males - by the Eastern River Crossing when the Angry Peasants arrived. "Hail and well met brothers and sisters," Aia greeted the newcomers from Asgeir, "and welcome to the our Varan village."
"Sister! Sister!" Behind Aia came the yells of Kyra, which alerted Aia. "Trouble! In the village! Angry men and women, even children, assaulting our sisters!"
"What?" Aia instantly trotted off with Kyra. The Varan warriors who recently arrived looked at one another in confusion before jogging a few yards behind them.
It did not take long to reach the scene, where angry peasants where, indeed, causing quite a ruckus, throwing rocks and waving their farming tools in the air.
Aia pushed her way to the front of the crowd of Varan who had gathered, oblivious to why this was happening. So far they threw their arms up and tried calming the peasants down. "People! People! Brothers, sisters!" Aia tried calming them down too, but they did not respond kindly. A rock from the crowd came hurling towards her and, not expecting it, it struck her above the eye. The Varan hushed as Aia turned around and covered her face. When she removed her hand and saw the blood covering it, and then dripping onto the ground beneath her, the rage in her face was obvious.
She unsheathed the sword at her side and turned back around, pointing her blade directly at these 'angry peasants'. "Down with the rabble! Put them down! Put them in their place! Kill them all!"
Now bolstered by the new mercenaries, the combined force of over a hundred Varan warriors charged forth with the Fury of the North.

The angry peasants who arrived at the doorstep of the Varan Village were soon faced by a force of Varan warriors before finally being confronted by even more, including their leader. The pestering went on until one of the peasants landed a solid blow on Aia, hitting her in the eye with a rock. The peasants hushed for a moment to see what would happen, to their unfortunate fate.
The barbaric Varan charged forth with zeal unlike they had ever seen. The peasants may have come here with make-shift weapons and farm tools, and may have held a certain desire of angst in their minds, but the sight of these warrior folk was to much.
Those who stood in front were cut down, butchered by the onslaught of the Varan. Blood sprayed into the air before settling on the heads and shoulders of the murderous Varan. The lifeless bodies which fell to the ground were trampled and mangled by the constant stomping and pushing of the Varan boots. A few of the peasants survived the grievous blows made by the Varan, only to fall to the ground to lie amongst their fallen neighbors, crying and moaning for the chaos to stop.
The peasants, crying and yelling for help, took off in a full retreat, straight to the newly-built district known as New Solaria.

(I am hereby retconning this scene due to the fact that the Angry Peasants do not have permission to use Free City NPCs, and due to the fact that it makes zero sense for a nation of refugees who've been there no more than three years at most to suddenly form a mob and go after other groups of migrants. Aia, feel free to go ahead on the prospect that a gang of violent criminals tried to attack the Varan encampment.)

"Remove the head's of these barbaric criminals," ordered Aia. "Stick them on spikes and have them line the Varan Village so that everyone knows what happens to our enemies."
The Varan would go about removing their heads and sticking them on spikes to surround their territory here in the Free City. Meanwhile, the headless bodies would be placed in the Eastern River Crossing downstream.
"Now Kyra, we shall go speak to the Solarian leader, this Marcus fellow."

Upon hearing the news, Aia Heijra rallies her Varan force of 500 Huscarls and makes for the Northern Checkpoint.
