Urbanization[edit]

Traditional family dwellings consist of several rooms spaced around a large open courtyard containing a garden.

  • Cities tend to be large and sprawling. The Drakaran dislike underground buildings, and except for storage areas few exist.
  • Cities are laid out in geometric patterns, a function of the race’s obsession with order and harmony.
  • Large ranching regions are always nearby, to provide food animals, particularly during The Stalking, a Drakaran predatory phase.
