The Playgrounds and School.
The playgrounds are located to the northern side of the marketplace, right next to the inhabitation area where people live. The playground consists of a large open grass field. In extension of the open field, one can find a sand-box, a few swings, a fountain with running water, and a climbing tower with a long black slide for children to have fun on.
On the opposite side of the housing area, one can find the old school. The school is a regular block-building with three stories and 200 current children studying. Being relatively new, and funded by unknown benefactors, children from the orphanage study in classes with everyday children. There's always a myriad of parents, children and teachers here.
On the far end of the grass-area, one can find a training area. Wooden dummies are placed here, alongside a track for athletics. Every night the wooden dummies that have taken too much of a beating are being replaced by the caretaker.
The Marketplace
This is where mostly any trading will be going on. The marketplace is more or less the central street through Yabunkashou, with stands and shops placed as close to the center as possible. The shops range from blacksmiths and tanners, to pottery and food. The stands are closely rammed against each other. Living on trading with the travellers that come in by sea, there is a lot of export, and very little import.
The Harbor.
The upper levels appear just like you would expect a small fishing village. From the water-side, you'll find a self-created harbor which consists of wooden walkways, leading out onto the open water where a series of boats can be entered. From there, you enter the fishing market, which has all sorts of old buildings lined up side by side. The stench of fish can be quite overpowering, especially in high sunshine.
At the harbor, there's also a place where travelling merchants can come in by boat. It is one of the main points of travel around the area, and the point where approaching is the easiest.
The Housing Area.
Much like any other village, the housing area are streets filled with houses, and passage ways that allows people to get to-and-from rather easily. There's almost always people in this area, and more often than not the drunkards on their way home cause a fuss when the clock nears twilight. In the more shady lanes of the area, one can go to find hazardous gambling.
