----------------
NOTE: Ro'babzan townships are single urban centers which appear to be
spread-out cities but are actually composed of 2 or 3 towns that are
nearly in contact.  Such "multiple towns" use the same name, with each
section adding a "quantifier" based on their orientation to K'lza'babwe
-- 'zi ("heading towards"), 'ha ("heading away from" and 'a ("center").
Thus, Morcabza has three districts named "Morcabza'zi", "Morcabza'ha"
and "Morcabza'a".  The "center" district is situated between the 'zi and
'ha districts.  Such towns can be quite long and narrow.  The end
result, if one were to fly high above the city area, is a star-like
pattern with the central city and many long urban "rays" following the
minor roads out.

NOTE2: To locate the forts, track the path from the hex containing the
"tribal center"
