One-horse towns

Usage examples of burgs.

Al Kratzus is one of those neighborhood guys, like my Uncle Moosh, who remember 360 THE LAWS OF OUR FATHERS when this was still three little burgs, not, as the world now sees it, a single megalopolis.

Cloudless was the day, and the air clean and sweet, and every nook and cranny was clear to behold from where they stood: there were great jutting nesses with straight-walled burgs at their top-most, and pyramids and pinnacles that no hand of man had fashioned, and awful clefts like long streets in the city of the giants who wrought the world, and high above all the undying snow that looked as if the sky had come down on to the mountains and they were upholding it as a roof.

Whenever he encountered a warrior overbearing, He broke his burgs and slew him with dire revenge unsparing.

Little burgs like these won't have their own police force until maybe ten or twenty years from now.
