The river Ewniekra is the largest most visible river in the Ady Ewniemru (rain forest) just north of the Woofernu Fwnabe (mountain plateau). The people of the river Ewniekra are the most advanced in the region with ceramics, crude copper works, and primitive agriculture. They will be the ones to concur the rainforest.
They are best known for their mounds. These mounds were used to avoid the heavy spring and fall floods that rise as little as twenty feet, thirty-eight feet being the most. The people originally migrated to and from higher ground for the rainy and the less rainy seasons.
It is speculated that a small community was caught in a flood and stranded on a large hill. They would have been able to survive by fishing. The community then settled there. As time went on the mounds would be built by human hands (with the help of surrounding villages) and come to look like what is at the bottom of the post
To construct this people would construct three walls of lime stone (common to the area) building them up in unison, while at the same time filling the space in between these walls with soil. Then when the outer most wall reaches twenty-one feet they make capping rim and continue with the next other two walls. Once the second wall reaches twenty-one feet above the first wall they cap it off and finish the third wall. This makes a step pyramid, the top flat being 2.87 acres.
People then build houses, town government offices, forges and other expensive indispensable buildings. Often on the tears off the main flat the poor would build small houses and huts. The tears have docks just off the side of these tears to cope with the flooding. On the western side of the mound is a long ramp up to the top.
On the western side of the mound is a long ramp up to the top. The ramp has a wall that reaches from the start of first tear and ends at well the end. Doors are attached to the end of the ramp this is because people often try to break into the village and take that which is not theirs. It is always facing west for religious reasons; this reason being that the sun enters the world to the east so plants and nature grows towards the sun. This implies that you can trick nature to come towards man. This is also why a house’s door points out away from the center of the town; to invite nature in. But a place of business always has its door towards the center of the village.
These areas are economic powerhouses for their time if a non villager needs something he would go to the mounds and trade for what he needs with fish, meat, herbs, teas, fruits, and even ant colonies. The owners of the mounds have rice plantations were they “enlist” people to grow the crop. They use all that they can of the rice, often burning the husks and spreading the ashes over the fields.
Under the center of the mound is a dome that is built at the same time as the rest of the mound. This dome is water tight. The dome has a hole in the top that has a circular stair case that grants passage. Over this staircase is an office that I will talk about more later. In this dome the people of the mound keep of their resources worth protecting such as copper, grain, dried and salted meats, dried vegetables, dried fruits, herbs, teas, pottery full of wines, vinegars, sour kraut, honey, ants, and so one and so on. All of this is pooled together according to quality in large containers.
Outside of the dome still under the mound are large furnaces that distribute heat to the houses of the more wealthy.
Now there is an office over the dome often in the school, religious temple and town hall. This office is tasked with distributing goods. The owners of the goods often give out slips of paper with a special seal, kind of like a check. When the holder of this slip hands it in at the office a man is sent down and comes up with the item or goods desired. The office then charges a small fine and lets the man or woman go.
I am not sure if this is too realistic but I hope you like
