The north-eastern finger‑islands, like all the islands of the Gihon Delta are so thickly‑rushed, navigating them is very tedious. However, the interiors of these particular island clusters islands are generally higher in elevation and drier, and have allowed the construction of mud brick dwellings that outlast the reed-thatch of the Moud.
For this reason, and also because of the easier access to unimpeded water ways, and proximity to the grain-lands of Grand Banks, the Soud are on an innovation, wealth and population trajectory that are beginning to eclipse the Moud in Deina’s latter years.
