Urbanization

The Graytch, who prefer a colder environment, primarily inhabit the subpolar and polar regions.

Graytch architecture and construction techniques have been adapted to the local terrain. The cold forests cover many thousand of square kilometers, and there has been no problem in designating an area for Graytch development. Any Human visiting the forests will need to be dexterous and have a head for heights.

• Anglic, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Ga-ray-cha, the primary language of the Graytch.
