Generating a Mesomergos Village

Oblidisideryptch of discord fame has requested tools to generate a common Mesomergos town. When I write generators for my games, I don't just want details. I want something that will be useful for creating story at the table. This was the focus of my writing on inherent conflict in Mesomergos, a setting in which social forces exist in constant conflict, on a scale small enough that the representatives of those social forces can create problems and opportunities for players.

I want generic locations to be interesting.

An average village in Mesomergos should have some of the same inherent conflict from the city it orbits, but it also exists on the periphery. A village is usually led by a chieftain, who has to deal with trouble from the local partisan group. It has obligations and industry facing the city, and some kind of danger encroaching from the wilderness. It has a god that people can petition or be smote by. It probably also has other things, but if they do not create tension or opportunity I don't need to generate them until they come up.

Something, or ideally several somethings, should be going wrong everywhere. The right way to use these tables is to first decided if they are necessary, or if the current situation (or random encounter) suggests other tensions. If they are useful, roll on these and ask "why might this be a problem the PCs come into contact with?"
