Nomadic Yurt/Kozogok/Šaki

The Mongolians were a nomadic tribe like the Nomad/Naozhso, and they had special houses known as Yurts or Gers which could be packed up and moved to other areas. The Nomad/Naozhso also got special and easier to build yurts by the black tortoise Genbu/Gondu. First, a 77.25-metre area octagonal carpet was placed down made out of Koshkod Trees cloth and given a unique pattern, then using the outline of the carpet the lattice panels and the door are placed and a pillar with bars to support cloth for the roof. Then the thick cloth is placed along with the panels and the roof to make a shelter. . Then unroll the bedroll and layout the chest, and connect the furnace with the chimney to the cloth with a hole in it, and you have what a Nomad/Naozhso needs to survive. A Nomad/Naozhso can simply wash in rivers or lakes and find food in those bodies of water or the plains where they live.

Utility

The octagonal yurt is used as a temporary home for Nomad/Naozhso when they are wondering the plains with their horses, 1 for riding and the other for transport, and because of the light material, one horse can carry one packed yurt base and the cloth. The Panels are folded with the cloth and go on the back wth the chest and bedroll and pillows, and the pillar and hearth extension goes onto the side of the horse.
Inventor(s)
The yurts were invented by the Mongols, but this kind of yurt was made by Genbu/Gondu for the exclusive Nomad/Naozhso use with horses.
Access & Availability
The Yurt is given to New Nomad/Naozhso  either by Genbu/Gondu or a Daimyo. However, nomads seeking enlightenment do not have an earthly possession such as a home. It is used exclusively by nomads
Complexity
It's straightforward. It's more octagonal than a circular shape and made of lightweight folding Rora Wood 2 x 4 metre (h x w) lattice panels and thick cloth coverings. One panel is not a lattice panel but a door like a yurt. Then, a pillar in the middle contains a roof with bars connecting to the panels and is again covered by more transparent Koshkod Trees cloth. The Cloth, Panels and pillar are all packs, and because they are made of light materials can be placed on the same horse. There is also a bedroll, and pillows, a mobile furnace with chimney, a rolled carpet which is placed first and a small chest all carried by the horse as they are very strong in these parts.
