Block 8
Scale: 1 square = 1/2 mile
Following the road to the south of The Stormy Bed, takes the traveler in an east/northeasterly direction. Taking this road for a standard day’s journey will have you arrive in Aki, a primarily Tygrys (The Dwarfs call them Tigermen) village. Most of the journey is made through the plains with the occasional sighting of a Dindwell tree and a small lake that usually accompanies it. The Dindwell trees are around 10 ft tall and have large leaves that provide shade from the sun. The Dindwell trees tend to grow in clusters and the Tygrys advantage of this and build a lot of their smaller villages and towns under them. The Dindwell trees also provide a food source for the Tygrys in the form of a large nut called the Duscle that grows year round. The Tygrys use all parts of the Duscle, the shell becomes the basis for part of the spears that most Tygrys carry. The inner shell is used in several healing tonics and the inner meat is eaten at almost every meal.
Aki is the home to the Dindwell Spear tribe. A copse of Dindwell trees rests against the small lake of Juhq. Among these trees are huts made from some of the local tall grasses. There are no walls or boundaries to the village and everyone seems calm and peaceful.
