Safety in Numbers
In world full of fantastical beasts like giants and dragons how do common people like the elves, humans and halflings survive? In Alidor the races have three choices: Congregate in defensible places or structures. Find areas that predators avoid like the gargantuan tortoises of Jerren. Keep on the move always one step ahead of the beast that wants to eat you.
Brick and Mortar
Great walled cities to tiny hamlets, all built on solid ground, the traditional way. People live together like this in areas claimed by dragons or other powerful beings.
Wandering
Gigantic tortoises some, almost a half mile in diameter and several thousand feet high are home to up to 30,000 people. Dragons can't stand tortoises, neither can sorcerers, or any one with even a inkling of dragon blood running through their veins.
Tribal
These are groups of nomadic hunter gatherers that eek out a living by staying one step ahead of the monstrous predators that hunt them. They are always on the move or ready to be on the move with little to no notice.
