Nestled along the banks of the Tugela River and enveloped by the verdant embrace of lush forests, Chigobo is a bustling town that thrives on its natural resources. The Lesser Karoo Mountains serve as a majestic backdrop, their slopes rich with minerals and ores. This unique geographical setting has made Chigobo a hub for lumber, mining, and agriculture.
At the helm of this thriving community is Chieftain Thabisa, a formidable Centaur matriarch known for her wisdom and strength. Her mane is streaked with strands of silver, a testament to her years of experience. Thabisa is married to Jengo, a skilled blacksmith, and they have three young foals—Lindiwe, Jabulani, and Sizwe.
Thabisa is assisted by two key workers:
Run by the Chieftain herself, this lumber company is the primary supplier of high-quality wood in the region. The Centaurs' natural strength makes them excellent lumberjacks, able to haul massive logs with ease.
Managed by Jengo, Thabisa's husband, this blacksmith shop produces tools, weapons, and armor. It's particularly famous for crafting specialized mining equipment.
Led by Mosi (Centaur, Female), this agricultural business focuses on the cultivation of various crops and herbs. They also run a small but successful apiary, producing honey that's sought after for its unique flavors.
The Centaur population gives Chigobo a distinct advantage in industries requiring heavy lifting and transportation. Their four-legged forms are not only well-suited for the rugged terrain but also allow them to efficiently transport lumber and mined materials. The community is tight-knit, with a strong focus on family and tradition.
Chigobo is more than just a town; under the wise leadership of Chieftain Thabisa, the Centaurs of Chigobo have carved out a life that respects both the bounty and the boundaries of the land they call home.
