Before the release of Aku:

Jack’s hometown is a large, thriving village located on the banks of a river. It is one of the many villages that make up a stable, peaceful state run by a council of leaders representing each tribe. The architecture incorporates elements/shape languages of the local flora and is composed mostly of wood, straw, mud and plant materials. Patterns, ornamentations, and bright colors are often included. Many buildings, especially those closer to or on the water, are on stilts to accommodate for flooding.

 

The Future:

The original village was completely destroyed by the massive flooding brought upon by Aku. The descendants of the villagers have since relocated to the canopies of the rainforest, where they can still live above water level. Structures in this time period are built with the objective of camouflaging with their surrounding environment, to avoid detection from Aku and other monsters.
