Deya Village

A quiet little village that is always on the brink of disaster.

Town of Terror

The people of the town don't really think much about politics as they're all too busy worrying about being destroyed by their sleeping giant neighbor.

Deya Village falls under the 3rd District of the Kingdom, overseen by His Honorable Lord Saldin Argentus.

Because it is land that is controlled by a Stone Talus, the people of the vilage pay significantly lower taxes than many other, allowing for it to be a good place to make a home if one doesn't have much money to their name.

It is a requirement for everyone in the village to take turns watching for signs that the Talus is waking. Each villager signs up for a shift, and those who do not complete their shift can be fined, arrested, or even banished from the town altogether.

Being a town that was destroyed by Calamity Ganon, Deya Village was re-established after his defeat. At first, no one wanted to repopulate a place that had a Stone Talus sitting at its border, but after several years, some people were finally desperate enough to do it. A small group set about establishing the town, and it did not become long before others followed suit once they realized that the Talus was not going to actively destroy them. Certain safety measures were set up to minimize loss of life, such as the daily watches and weekly escape drills. While such things had allowed the villagers to escape with their lives whenever the Talus got up to forage, visitors noticed that there's a strange culture of superstition and palpable terror that grips the people who live there. The people of Deya Village are known for their cavalierly dire sense of black humor, and the rest of the world considers them to be strange and unappealingly backward hicks.

Many superstitions about the Deyers have been made, such as them making a pact with demons to be able to live there, sacrificing outsiders or their own children to the Talus, and accusations of incest.

While it is true that the Deyers don't very much like outsiders, it's mostly because people who come to the village are loud and arrogant tourists who don't respect their culture and are fascinated by their poverty without doing much about it.
