Rim Square

Rim Square (Acron) is a small town situated in the Outer Rim where you begin and live your life, from your childhood years that made you first realize the injustices of the Hegemony, up until the pivotal moment at the Fourth Harrowing when your rebellion began.

Description
Rim Square is a small, yet sizable town that is situated on the outskirts of the Rim, close to the boundaries between Shayard and Wiendrj. The current aristarchs are the Keriatou. The town is home to several noble Houses, and over three hundred helots, along with the tradesfolk and yeomen. A local group of Alastors and an Ecclesiast also reside here, with several Diakons working under the Ecclesiast to serve in the helot camps.

Geography
Most of the land of Rim Square is divided between the different Houses. The Keriatou own the most, as they are the aristarchs, and they are in charge of the district. The plaza itself is where most of the free folk gather. A marketplace allows for the traders of the Syntechnia to buy and sell their wares. Some also live in houses along this street. The plaza is also where the helots gather during a Harrowing.

The Naos Xthonos is occupied and ministered by an appointed Ecclesiast. In the Religion Background, this Ecclesiast used to be hiera Olynna, before she was replaced by hieros Zebed due to the former's transgressions against the Karagond Canon. Most religious ceremonies are celebrated here, including the Helsday Mass, weddings, namings, heritances, and others.

The yeomen live across the Outer Rim. Some of them have had their lands taken away from them because of their debts, and were turned into overseers that manage the Helotry. Those that still have their own land plow for their own food and live their life precariously.

The helot camps house the helots of the different Houses. Under the overseers, they plow the fields and harvest the yields, while serving to their masters' whims as they will. During Harrowings, the Theurges have several helots called forward to be thrown into the Harrower. Most of the helots of Rim Square are relatively young, with almost every third helot being a child.
