Sorkariko

Sorkariko is Sheikah village in Hyrule Field, approximately 35 miles southeast of Gundrumether. It is the ancestral grounds of the Sokkala Clan, a branch of the Sheikah Cadre.

History
Sorkariko traces its origins to the Tribes of Akkala as they emigrated from Arcadia. Like other Akkalan settlements, it began as a sheltered community, a central Noble manor or castle home to one of the larger Houses, surrounded by rural villages governed by their bannermen, in this case its namesake, House Sokkala, a vassal house of House Ponoam with holdings on the eastern edge of Hyrule Field, bordering the Kokiri Forest.

Circa 2800 - 2700 BG, the descendants of Cinna Harkinian established what would become one of the three Sheikah Clans, Sokkala, in the settlement's shadows. During the Century of Decline, Sorkariko would be hit badly by plague and anarchy, eventually being burned and briefly occupied by Kokiri Bandits.

Despite all of this, it survived, albeit severely reduced. Much of its population resettled in Malkariko or Hateno, leading the former to become a proper city. Despite this, Clan Sokkala still retains it as their de facto base, due to its seemingly low importance.
