    Long ago there were landlords in nearly every district. Most of them were very cruel people. The landlords were people who gathered the rent from the people, if the people had not the money the landlords took their goods instead. Some landlords evicted the people in this district. People were very often evicted, and they could be seen clinging on to the mountains, they also his in the woods.
