The Road d’Claer – The Road of the Squared Settlement – was a planning design that was used in colonizing new areas. The Umbakians would build a string of 4 settlements connected by straight line rounds forming a square. They would choose the best farmland to be inside the square, and the terrain to allow the nearest to straight 2-15 mile road length. That way the best and core crops could be better protected. One of the villages would be a town, usually with a garrison and fortified place for people to retreat to. This was (and still is for the most part) the primary form of building settlements for thousands of years.
West Watch: There would be a common shrine to the Lightbringers and cemetery on the western edge, usually on a road into the settlement so that passer-byes could honor those who had sacrificed and come before.
East Watch: There would be a common shrine to the Lightbringers and cemetery on the eastern edge, so that christenings could be done in the first light of the rising sun for everyone in the community.
