Coastal People
There were no shortage of peoples who settled the low-lying beaches and riversides outside the sacred and oasis valleys. Now, from the Nina Pillunya Pacha, these mix-blooded descendents of the "spontaneous generation" and the mud men include the:Defences
Massive Walls
Two colossal masses of earth tower over any other structure it surrounds. It stands so tall, about 300ft, that it obscures the skyline from the inside and views the rest of the valley outside. Despite being mainly made of sandstone, the wall is infused with large amounts of camay, boosting its hardness to an absurd degree.Infrastructure
Elevated Ground
Tolas are piles of fertile dirt used as artificial farmland. Both sides of the city expanded over old tolas and converted them into the foundation upon which they were built. This put them out of range of the floods that occur every 50 years. In addition, the city leaders established farming terraces on the low sides of the Silver Mountains in the north and Sanka in the South to feed its shifting population.Districts

Sacred Valley
Like with many settlements along the Sacred River, Diu sits along the invisible paths of thick and dense siq'i lines. As a consequence, it is a place where innoit magic is very potent. Its position at the center of the valley makes it a vital and influential trading hub throughout the empire's tribute system.Climate
Diu has a cool and dry climate throughout the year. Though it experiences mild winters, requiring light woolens, heavy rains are not uncommon. The earlier months are hot but the temperature does not rise abnormally.
