Ben drew the ranching plains to the northwest of the city.
He pictured open corrals and reinforced pens carved into the stone, each section split by layered ridges.
These were not for normal cattle.
They were for tamed beasts, domesticated Ravager kin, and herd-mutants bred for meat and hide.
Maybe even ashdrakes, if he could figure out how to breed them without letting them destroy everything.
At the center of this zone, he carved a large spiral tower.
He named it the Beastmaster Spire.
It would be both watchtower and training ground.
Krell could oversee it, or another specialist, if Ben could find someone with enough instinct to control the things he wanted to raise.
Around each cluster, he added feed stations and butchering pits.
He linked them with underground hauler tunnels that would send harvested meat straight to the city's cold storage.
Finally, he marked the entire outer ring with defensive layers.
Stone palisades.
Hidden trenches.
