Gray, short post i'm sleepy






Gray is connected to green by a tiny little border, but it is one of the most active borders in the whole Territory.  That is because of the mass wood trade that goes on there.  The majority of the business of Gray is boat building.  Everything from tiny pirogues all the way up to large ships.  Wood from Green and papyrus reeds from inside the city.  The whole area is covered in a plant much like cyperus papyrus from our Egypt.  Biggest difference is that they are half again as big.  These grow from 15-25 feet tall.  They grow in a fashion that forms natural pathways in a maze like fashion.  The locals harvest them in a thinning pattern that does not ruin these natural waterways.  The reeds are used in much the same fashion as the ancient Egyptians did and the people are culturally very similar.  The biggest difference in the lack of stone and Pyramids.


The baddie will actually be here physically, before the Flight.  He will be elsewhere afterward.  I have the idea for him to be spreading some sort of sickness to the papyrus causing them to petrify at a unnatural rate.  Then his minions gather the stone reeds and build pyramids.  I'm gunna have baddie building these things all over the place.  I need to figure out what they are for now...
