Yara Village
The centre village of the Free Clans on Baramma Place Baramma The great jungle island east of Tarkdaara, separated from the mainland by the Bram Sea and home to the Bar., a vertical settlement grown into the dense fern forest and the canopy above it: a forest that learned to speak. It is engineered rather than improvised, civic and legible, its life organised around a deliberate clearing rather than a walled footprint. Circles and ovals dominate, growth feels slow and integrated, and the whole settlement is balanced by a web of taut cables and bridges.
Key traits
- A vertical canopy settlement integrated into living fern forest, the heart of the Free Clans of Baramma.
- A ground-level civic square of irregular stone paving, ringed by market stalls in open arcs and a permanent circular ring enclosure at its exact centre.
- Luminous oval pods clustered at many heights around living trunks, glowing warm amber through seam-bands and windows.
- Taut suspension bridges with transparent floors and chest-high barriers, connecting pod to pod as controlled channels.
- A consistent architectural grammar: transparent structural skins, dark framing and cables, and warm wood-panelled interiors.
- The Largtree at its centre, a massive suspended knot of rope-thick roots held in midair by tension lines pulling to the surrounding tree-towers.
- Strict light discipline: open flame only at the ground ring, warm amber inside the pods, concealed bands in the domed civic halls.
