I'm planning a side-trip to Esrolia for my group, but so far there has been very little written about Esrolia, so I'm going to need to create some details for the places they go. I don't need grand detail somuch as the everyday life of people in Esrolia.

gives us a good summary of Esrolia as a matriachal Heorlinginfluenced culture and should be our baseline.
Remember, I'm NOT interested in big picture desctiptions here, instead I wanted to describe a typical Esrolian village. What does it look like, what kind of buildings are there, who is in charge, what is day-to-day life like. Assuming the material in TR as a baseline, what kind of things would the average Heortling ariving in such a village notice. I'm also interested in personalities for our sample village particularly ones that illustrate the roles of men and women. Pick out what's interesting about Esrolia.
I'm not particular about the year-father faction yet, we can get more specific as time goes one.
I have some ideas that I may post at the weekend to get everyone started, but feel free to comment on the idea or begin submitting your own thoughts.
Eventually it might be nice to produce a description of an 'example' village complete with NPCs maybe short first person narative sections etc. But mainly I think we should concentrate on something that can be dropped into a game and played. Let's figure bigger details from the day-to-day stuff.
