This is the potential map for Kiruuke. Suggestions for places/Names are welcome. This is roughly 10-11 rooms? About pride size, but I plan to allow more than lions in here, clearly.
So basically there are two ways to the "Figurehead" type kopje. Go up the slow, laid-out falls, or up the thicket and up the path. The falls are more for visual effect. Nice, rolling water, with some rapids stuck in. The cliff/hill is the dangerous place, instead of the waterfalls. Sort of like the Gorge-jumping area on ER? Though probably without the roller. And it goes down into the jungle area. The sides are inclines with the path/thicket and the falls.
The rest seems simple enough, though. Thicket to the grass and jungles, as a sort of buffer zone for those who want to go up, but not particularly through. The jungle looms beside the grasslands like a kind of ominous wall.
Citizens can live anywhere they please, space permitting. Most tend to wander often, but they are allowed personal spaces too(and these can be defended within reason). The big Cave in the kopje would be used for what's needed, and is also a place that citizens may sleep. There is no real 'sacred area', really. If any, the top of the kopje and the Cave, but the latter only in some aspects such as Council/etc. The view on the top shows /everything/ due to it being so high on the hillsides.
The border may be merged with another room.
