A typical Yaheban structure.

Simple structures in Yahebah are constructed from bricks of mud mixed with straw while more complicated building are made of sand colored stone. Roofs tend to be flat or domed. Flat is preferred as Benshiras often eat or relax on the roof to enjoy the cool evening air or escape the heat of a cooking hearth.

The interior of structures is comprised largely of tile or stone to combat the desert's overwhelming heat. Furniture is scarce and low to the ground, as if the Benshiras have forgotten they do not dwell in tents anymore. A brazier commonly heats rooms in the evenings and homes are lit by hanging bronze lanterns.

More elaborate structures tend to have courtyards and outdoor halls behind protective walls. Windows are usually just openings high off the ground either shuttered or curtained

A common sitting room.



A third of the city is still in ruins, no more than heaps of stone and collapsed buildings. This destroyed area is contained to the southern portion of the city, but much of what still stands in the rest of Yahebah shows signs of past repair or damage.

Save where it has fallen in the south, a stone wall encircles the city. It is two chariots wide and hung with banners of white and scarlet. Yahalmen, the city guard, inhabit staggered rooms within it.
