Horus: Hogpen
Hogpen is the second oldest region of Horus. It's name derives from the abundant pig/hog production that the city is known for. The majority of the land, if not farmed for crops, is used for pig farming. Be it domestic pigs or wild boars and hogs, Hogpen farms it for food and skin and companion pets. Hogpen pork has been made famous all across Askeron.

Hogpen does not have multiple districts but instead references location by either "Town" or "Country."
Town simply refers to the generalized cluster of shops at the south center of Hogpen. It is a small intersection of two dirt roads that is essentially a market district. It is small but has all that the residents could ever need. Country is the rest of Hogpen, all the swirling, curvy dirt roads that connect homes and occasional businesses, everything spaced out by open fields of pigs and crops. For some people, traveling into town to buy supplies or necessities can involve quite a distance of travel which means trips into town are planned carefully. Hogpen is the definition of true country lifestyle. Most of everybody is a farmer to some extent. |
