Étrendi

Étrendi is a fictional settlement located in the northern region of the continent of Eldoria. Situated within the Whispering Plains, Étrendi is characterized by its sparse population and its reliance on traditional, self-sufficient living. The settlement is primarily composed of small, interconnected homesteads and communal gathering spaces. Its inhabitants, often referred to as Étrendians, are known for their resilience and their deep understanding of the local flora and fauna.

The history of Étrendi is largely unwritten, passed down through oral traditions. It is believed to have been established centuries ago by nomadic tribes seeking refuge and a stable place to cultivate the challenging terrain. Over time, these communities developed unique agricultural techniques adapted to the often harsh climate of the Whispering Plains. Trade is minimal, with most goods and resources being sourced locally. The closest major city is over a week's travel by foot or animal caravan, contributing to Étrendi's isolated nature.

Culturally, Étrendi places a high value on community cooperation and respect for the natural world. Festivals and gatherings often revolve around agricultural cycles and seasonal changes. The settlement’s spiritual beliefs are animistic, with a reverence for the spirits of the land, water, and sky. Despite its isolation, Étrendi maintains a peaceful coexistence with the few other settlements in the region, occasionally engaging in limited bartering for essential goods not produced within their own borders. The future of Étrendi remains tied to the continued sustainability of its environment and the traditions of its people.
