Aylen

Aylen has few standing cities to speak of, as the majority of its people reverted to their traditional ways of herding and pastoralism when the Godbomb dealt irreplaceable damage to their country. Some towns exist as trading hubs for people to barter for different goods and livestock, or simply because enough people decided to grow food there, particularly common in especially fertile grounds. The average citizen, however, will wander the expanses of the country with their family and whatever animals they keep. At times, they will take temporary shelter in the various old cities throughout the country, giving rise to the popular perception of Aylen being roaming shepherds and their flocks standing amongst toppled skyscrapers and rusting spaceships.
Culturally, Aylen's people tend to have little to do with one another beyond necessity or whatever family they're part of. They are a solitary people and mostly keep to their own; it is not considered unusual for someone to strike out on their own and take a portion of the family's herd with them. Eventually, they may meet another wanderer and start a new family, or they might integrate with an existing group. In either case, the end result is still the same; the herd ebbs and flows like the seasons and wild beasts of Aylen. In times of prosperity, the people come together and share whatever excess they have to trade and barter for things they need; in times of hardship, the herds cling together for survival and keep to themselves.
