The settlements within Lamora are typically small and functional, designed to withstand the elements. The culture of Lamora's people is hinted at through their dialogue and their interactions with the main characters, suggesting a strong connection to their land and a pragmatic approach to life. The city's role is to establish the challenging world of Cocoon and introduce the player to the early conflicts and themes of the game.
