In a lot of ways this new city looks very much like the capital of Temba. For one thing there's no denying that it hasn't been lived in for a very long time. Many structures are damaged or even fallen, the roads are broken up and ruined by the progress of time and tree roots, and even the atmosphere seems to speak of a place long since abandoned.

There are differences though, first and foremost of which is that while the air is humid, there is a lot less standing water throughout the whole of the city. The flooded areas that seem common in Temba are not found as easily here. Instead the dominant form of wear and tear over time seems to come from the proponderance of plant life, especially tall, durable trees with trunks that in some cases are so thick that it might take three or four people joining hands to encircle them. These trees not only grow all over the city, but even on the roofs of some structures, or in places where they might once have been meant as decorative elements, with these rooftop forests and decorative areas being more likely to be fruit or nut bearing trees.

There's also a general difference in the architecture itself, but that's just something that happens between different cities, right? Where Temba is often strucures of metal and glass and stone, this city is almost only stone. Stone that looks carved from a single piece, or stones that seem strangely fused together by melting rather than with mortar or careful cutting. Many of the structures, even those with windows, don't have glass in them but rather screens of stone or extremely hard wood that have miraculously survived over long years in some chunks.

The truly insightful explorer might even find that the scale of the city is different. The city doesn't cover nearly as much ground, and even what it does tends to be in smaller buildings. Not shorter, no not that at all, but smaller. More designed to account for the size and bulk of a large human, whereas Temba tends to have tall doorways and slightly wider halls. The buildings do share some things in common though, with more floors and often the lower ones dedicated to open spaces or not seeming nearly as in use as higher ones. Guess some people just like to build upward. But again, architectural styles do change over the years and between different regions on other planets, so it isn't all that shocking.

Or perhaps there is some shock and something to think about, because in their explorations the He Rows have been finding signs that perhaps this city was not home to Agrii, but rather the species known as Graq. This alien race was encountered when the He Rows were taken into space by Ga Re to save those Agrii who were going missing. The Graq were slightly taller and more muscular than humans and looked a lot like teddy bears with oversized, red eyes and a pug's mouth. This species was not known for being the brightest, spitting toxins, and for shaping stone with their spit. But why would the place give hints of their presence when the Agrii claimed to have never met the Graq before that encounter in space?
