Ubuka

This is a town of the Moglai tribe and is typical of many small towns of the grasslands. It has a handful of permanent buildings (in this case, an inn, a tavern, and a combination office and residence for the mayor) and several transient merchants who have set up shop in tents or wagons. The rest of the town consists of a score of large farms and a few dozen smaller residences spread over 15 square miles. The town has no established property lines but residents generally recognize which areas are farmed by which household, or where a family’s animals are kept. Many owners take their flocks of sheep or herds of cattle far afield to graze, returning to the home area from time to time.
