Habitat and population
Historical
The Oka have their roots with the vicious predators that followed their prey through the vast savannah of Gondahuut. So it is understandable that for almost 2.5mya the Oka where nomadic hunters, and even when the Age of the Thousand Warring Kingdoms ended, only 6% of the population (then 6000million) lived permanently settled lives. Even by the Age of Empires, when both Pangsa and the west were becoming settled, only 15% now lived settled. Though as the ages went by, the settled population rose (though dropped temporarily during the Dark Ages after the fall of the Valv Empire). Ancient towns were densely packed and usually built up irregularly, surrounded by a wall, or two as the town grew. The later periods of the Valv Empire saw the construction of buildings built in square patterns, a method that resurfaced after the Dark Ages. The Middle Ages though saw a period of inactivity and population stability that lasted until the Karan Golden Age and the surfacing of the Brundus Empire.

Contemporary
The Brundus Empire brought a new age in urbanization. Stone buildings eventually replaced the traditional wooden buildings of the far west coast. Cities are still fairly irregular at their heart, where their construction began, but modernization has changed their city plans to more well organized.  Cities though are still particularly dirty and sickness is a very present mortality risk. Plus cities are a crime hotspot and the threat of being robbed or murdered is omnipresent. Cities are generally a nasty place to live, but the promise of money, trade, a house and often a higher¡er chance of getting married bring people from all over the western world in to large cities. 60% of the world population (1billion) is settled and 10% live in cities of more than 500 000.
