The village itself consists of houses built up into the trees (as in the film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves) and burrows (as in The Hobbit).  They are mostly a farming community raising crops and tending to their orchards. The village itself has the standard make up of your normal village as far as shops and services goes, except for note that they do not have any taverns, since they are highly susceptible to the effects of alcohol and in some cases can be lethal (this is often referred by older members as the lost poison).  They also have a veterinary hospital that tends to the regular animals wounded inside the biosphere. There is also a small training area for the warriors of the village and the rest is made up of private dwellings.   Lifestyle of the HengeyokaiThe Lifestyle of this village is seen as an open one, whereas the whole village raises the young and everyone works to the benefit of the whole. Clothing is seldom worn at all due to the problems of shape changing and is seen to be a nuisance to their way of life, but they will wear it if they need to venture forth out into the world beyond the biosphere. The villagers tend to stay mostly in their human form during the growing season to plant and grow crops, but when winter comes the village is secured and a select few (determined by a council vote) stay human, while the rest turn into their animal form and spend the winter as such. This allows the village to be able to save quite a bit of their harvest, since most of the Hengeyokai consume less in animal form and can also forage for themselves.  This ensures that during real severe times they will have ample supplies. So far this system has proved to work remarkably well and since its implementation has allowed the villages to prosper greatly. They also have a different view of mating, whereas the Hengeyokai have taken on the basic instincts of the animal counterpart, in the sense of some sub-races mating for life, just for a season, or creating a pack.  The scene of a male dog sub-race Hengeyokai with two or more mates is seen as normal, whereas if the life mate of a crane sub-race Hengeyokai died it would never mate or have romantic interest for the rest of their life again.  All Hengeyokai have also developed an underlying fear of fire.  Though they have learned how to control fire quite well, they avoid lighting them unless it is absolutely necessary, it is not unusual to see three or four people each make sure that a fire is fully put out.</blockquote>
