Phirasa

Fields of grains, legumes, and tubers extend for miles around Phirasa, although none of it is going to trade, and almost none is returning to the farmers. Instead, the town's resources are going entirely towards supporting the army on their doorstep as it advances towards Karapaka. Many of the farmers themselves have joined the war effort, willingly or unwillingly, and discontent grows. In the midst of plenty, families go hungry, and the energizing beat of war drums and carnivorous harmonies of battle bards do little to alleviate it - especially with the distance to Anekoya, which only exacerbates the feeling of noble exploitation cruelly visited on the villagers.
