[quote=@Riptide]Some questions about Grits. I find them really interesting. They can use magic, you said. How though? Are Grits intelligent? Almost human-like in terms of intelligence? Also, how do Grits look like? I'm pretty sure it varies. You mentioned before they're human-like. How much human-like are they? Do they stand upright, straight, and walk on two legs? Can a Grit be mistaken for a person?

These questions actually made me rethink my assumptions! The grit vary widely, but essentially the difference between the Grit and animals is that the Grit are all unique. You won't find a group that all look the same, for example: family members look nothing alike, and a brother and sister may resemble entirely different species. They can walk on two legs or five or none, they could be tiny or enormous. Their intelligence can be animalistic or very much human. Those who look and act the most like humans have naturally taken leadership roles. They're also the scariest to encounter precisely because they can pass for human, according to those who frequently travel outside the wall. Most common are the monkeylike ones that swarm merchants and steal their stuff.

[@Eodwyn Aether] that totally makes sense to me! Also worth considering is that since the city is confined to inside the wall, the only way to expand the city is to build vertically. So older buildings tend to be at the bottom. How high things are built probably depends on the district, but I'd assume the residential areas are the tallest.

Up for discussion of course! :D
