    Thank you, Ilanthar

    Azelor's latest suggestion has me thinking of huts with stone slab rooftops on which weeds and grass are growing, and them being only visible against the ground from above by their shadows and the smoke from their hearth fires.

    Which also makes me think of the relative lack of wood for burning around here. It being an arid place where only cypress and palm grow any distance from the central places in the city that are closest to the lakes. Maybe these are dung fires? If that's the case, then we need a lot more animal husbandry going on - cattle and sheep preferably. I hear cattle dung makes excellent fire fodder, and we could do with a source of wool for the fabrics and dyeing industry

    For that I need deep boreholes to supply water for the livestock, and maybe primitive irrigation to encourage the grass and winter fodder crops...

    Herds of livestock, and livestock paths to and from the water holes...

    Groups of planted trees to provide shelter from the sun...

    Barns and other farming paraphernalia...

    Maybe the odd suggestion of a person working the land here and there - more visible by the shadow than the top of the head...
