Week 9: Built Environment

City Building


There is a main hub, large white blocks of quartz make up the majority of building material, stone blocks and wood make up the rest, there is a large temple that is the religious hub as well as the political hub, surrounding are the villages and markets. only the upper-class citizens reside in the all quartz district. 

most people travel to the main hub to seek wisdom from the god-king, some come to trade, witness his wonders and miracles, only the Metrions live in the city, all lesser races are forced into their own districts. 

they ride animals, carts or walk, no vehicles until humans arrive 

I would live in the forest with the Thaarius where the trees act as houses/ treehouse

like it is on earth, hunting, farming and cooking, families eat together and there are feasts as well. 

Bathrooms:

there are not male and female bathrooms, there is a waste room in esteemed buildings but most residence go outside 

pleasure: 


there are shows, fights and duels, games and toys, no tvs, radios or electricity until humans arrive.

What if the water fills it up? I hope it has somewhere to go... Where is it coming from? I follow the river into the castle, which now only shines with faint light from the three moons. The water trickles from the ceilin

Week 4: History + Nerd Trope

Ancient Egypt and Aliens      There are quite a lot of people who believe a lot of the Egyptian art and accomplishments were influenced by alien life. Looking at it from the view that aliens could have been the case opens up a wide range of possibilities for worldbuilding and storytelling. We all know the story of Moses. Moses split the Red Sea.

The people didn't have a concept of aliens and labeled them as Gods. These beings look similar to Earths beasts.

The Land of Naught is Gargoyle Country. It is located underground below the Valley of Voe. There are only two ways to get to the Land of Naught, a spiral staircase under Pyramid Mountain and a tunnel under a large rock that leads right into a Dragonette den. The city is made entirely of wood. The grass, birds, even the gargoyles themselves are wood. The gargoyles live in tower-like houses with six to eight sides. There is one large prison that sits atop a tall tower. This prison has no doors or windows.   Overman-Anu who was known as the Champion of Voe, climbed the spiral staircase and battled the gargoyles for nine days before eventually making his escape.
