Huge version here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16039507/
The yinglet enclave is located about half a mile south from the main city, where upon its founding, they dug a small saltwater stream in from the sea, in order to farm the mollusks and saltmarsh plants that make up the majority of their diet and building materials.
This method of beachside irrigation might have changed the way Val Salia produces food, if anyone but the yinglets could stand the taste of the plants.

Most of the Val Salian yinglets migrated from one of the southern tribes/enclaves in the grasslands, and brought their preferred housing style with them; if there's 3 or more from the same area, most likely they will build a (basic, shoddy, dangerous) hut for cohabitation.
this place isn't THAT bad 'w'...and I have a comment for each panel =w=
1. reminds me of Hobbiton but not as gorgeous and reaks of fish and salt water
2. must be a slow day in the life of an yinglet guard
3. that relaxing yinglet is me when I swim XD so relaxing in the water~
4. the fuck are you laughing at >:I sure it's hilarious but damn you won't be laughing when it is YOU that is about to fall over >:3
5. well I don't think I blame Kass for that comment XD its like he went from one slum to an even worse one XD at least he FINALLY got that promotion :B right? X3

Oh yeah, all sorts of crazy stuff lives under the water here.
The "fish" on the left side of the rack is currently transitioning as a species into an early amphibian; the single greatest obstacle to their ascension to land is... well, yinglets. They think they taste great.

Well, that seems to be how it goes in evolution. First species to become intelligent gets to eat everyone else.
Or... fifth species, in this case? There seems to be a lot of convergent evolution in this world, actually. Multiple civilized species, fish on their way to amphibians in places that already have newt/lizardy-looking creatures... No wonder Ran seems so excited about everything all the time.

Yeah; much like their native grassland enclaves, they're just spread around without any sort of planning, except for a few official enclave buildings and nurseries.
I'm very curious to see how their "government" is received by the readers; I've had a solid idea of how it works, and how this scene will go down, for almost a year now; so I can only wonder what others expect to see without having all the relevant info that's tumbling around in my head.

After what we've seen of yinglets, from random street brawlers to the Matriarch, I'm... not really sure what to expect. At all. Probably something that looks bizarre and possibly nonsensical to humans, but actually works a lot better than it seems like it should.
Then again, we've mostly just seen individual yinglets in the story, or small groups of them. It's kind of hard to predict how a whole society of them would work. I've been really looking forward to finding out for a while now!

Huh. I was expecting the enclave to be IN the city. But this certainly meets my expectations for yinglets' general attitude and competence.
Love the yinglets scattered here and there in the background. The one in the treetop is my favorite. He just looks to me like he's thinking, "Oh. It stops going up, here."

There are a couple little communal dens within the city now, but everyone was very against the idea of letting the original group of yinglet settlers set up within the city. Which worked out fine for the yinglets, as they were all grasslanders who preferred wide open spaces to the confines of city streets.
And yes, that describes the tree-climbers current mindset perfectly. :)

Sort of!
The difference is that while lemmings would run off a cliff because the ones in front of it are running in a particular direction and the ones behind it trust the ones in front, yinglets would see other yinglets falling off a cliff, and think, "If they're doing that there's gotta be something good down there; I better get there before the others do!" and push others out of the way in an attempt to jump off the cliff first.

The setup for that joke is perfect. Here we have a peaceful, majestic landscape of yinglet society. They're frolicking about, swimming, laughing, playing. You can almost hear calming music in the background with various nature sounds– Then, it swiftly cuts to a yinglet hanging by his neck, screaming wildly in a panic. Well done.
I realize I haven't seen yinglet Kass interact with many other yinglets before, so this should make for an interesting meeting.
