The more well off folks live in identicle homes, save for even shiner trim and a more whimsical appearance to their structures flowing forms.

Eg Hald Gehlvä Dab is buildings are speckled and packed arround spacious packed earth streets with seemingly no patern to them. It appears as if the town's residents simply built streets as they pleased and squeazed buildings in wherever and howeave rpossible, creating an organic, frustrating to navigate, maze of a town.

One can't help but wonder why the has not yet effected repairs.
