A poor country (2)

The first location that we were heading to was a village outside of the capital city.

Even though the capital city was the most prosperous location in the kingdom, that didn't mean that there weren't villages in the surrounding area.

This wasn't like the modern era where there was strict planning over the land used.

In this world that was in the middle ages, there was only planning when it came to cities and towns since they were important trade centers. Anything outside of cities and towns went however one wanted to do it.

So there were actually many villages that were outside of the capital.

Villages were created by people gathering and people gathered based on the land that was available.

These villages would generally be built in places where there was fertile soil so they would be able to farm and feed themselves.

From time to time, villages would be favoured by nobles and taken under them as territories.
