Most of the villages on the southern side of the city were agricultural villages. That was because the land around those parts was fertile. It used to rain frequently there, which supported the growth of plants and crops.
In comparison, the villages on the northern side of the city barely had any cultivable lands.
In the center of this kingdom, there was a place called the Dragon valley. It was a valley surrounded by a mountain range that was several times larger than the Himalayas from my previous world.
There were several rocky hills around those parts, so the landform wasn't exactly suitable for cultivation. And on top of that, there was a constant threat of monsters.
This was the reason why I chose to visit the southern villages first.
The farmers used to save some grains in a fear that the crops may not come out well next year. But there was barely an occasion where that fear came true.
