Hamlets are composed of small groups of houses surrounded by immense fields of local crops, meadows, and pastures divided by dirt roads. Houses are inhabited by commoners who aren't typically fond of adventures. Small wells can be found next to the houses. The local governing body is located at the mead hall, housing the lord, the hearthspeople, and other nobility. The mead hall is built on a separate location from other structures.
In the rare case that a human civilization is nearing death and all towns have been destroyed, a hamlet may become the seat of power, and the mead hall will be additionally used as the throne of the law-maker.
