| The climate of the region is a temperate continental one. The mountains do not have a permanent ice cover. Sometimes a weather front becomes stationary in the mountains meaning that it rains for longer periods. The big and small river are snow rivers. Hence, flooding in the poorer quarters of Urr may happen from time to time. The city of Urr is at about 300 meters above average sea level. | The climate of the region is a temperate continental one.

| The center of Urr consists of two squares. One is the Grand market of Urr, while the other was called the Town. When Urr was young and more of a direct democracy, the citizens gathered here to make policy. When government became a representative democracy, decision making moved to buildings in the Inner City and the square was no longer used. A dozen odd years ago the Temple Hermits built The Great Ziggurat of Urr on this square at great government expense. Locally, this temple has the reputation of being an insane boondoggle. | The center of Urr consists of two squares. One is the Grand market of Urr, while the other was called the Town.
