Considering that in the description of the Klyros, they have a very strong brotherhood bond, thus would form some for of segregation from the general population in terms of social events and living areas. Though at the same time they are generally explorers, travellers, traders, and farmers (fishing, etc) thus are friendly to other races.

So I do expect a minor form of segregation to develope in order to fit in with the race descriptions.

Yeppers.

I wager they tend to show up in an area, but hang out on the rooftops and such, watching people, in each other\'s company.

The Klyros believe strongly in the concept of brotherhood amongst the other members of their race.

It is my impression that this doesn\'t so much refer to segregation or banding together. It is my opinion that it is more like an unwritten law, like \"visitors rights\", that demands that you help someone out if the need arises, even if you don\'t know them.
I.e., I think that if a Klyros comes to an unknown city, gets robbed and whatever, they can be very certain that if they ask another Klyros for some food, they\'ll get it, and the other can also be very certain that his help won\'t be abused. They will not stick together beyond that, at least not more likely than any other combination of Yliaki. They might even dislike each other, or are cut-throat competitors. Just like it should be with family bonds: if need arises, everything else will not matter for the moment, until the exceptional situation has been dealt with. That doesn\'t mean that families stick together. Sure, that\'s much more challenging RP than racism, but I don\'t see that as bad.
