Thread: 28 - NunQiri, the Ward of Whispers [J.Edward]

  1. #1

    Map 28 - NunQiri, the Ward of Whispers [J.Edward]

    I am back at it with another city section, because.. why not.
    This time I am going to go a bit more in the direction that was arrived at after I had started Chiezbehrg.
    So more flat roofs and such with some gables here and there.
    Possibly some domes and maybe minaret-type things. Yay variety.

    This section is a bit further from Chiezbehrg but maybe still close enough to do some connection
    with my ongoing underground work in the other section [sewers at the moment, underground and underdark later].
    I'm wanting to try for a more dark and mysterious thing as it's out by the edge of the city, some over the edge.
    So we should see some thieves and maybe some fae from Chashio's ward.
    And definitely the Shahdiza, the Guild of Shadow Weavers. Yep. Good stuff.

    So here's the sketch start for NunQiri, the Ward of Whispers

    You have too much free time on your hands. Where did you get all those seconds?
    Looks like an interesting start.

    So, full speed ahead on personal work while the time is right.

    The photo was just for inspiration on an idea. It is the area where it says 'casts large shadow'.
    It's sort of a hill fort inside the city... which, presumably it wasn't in the city at one point in the far past.
    If you want the name of the real world castle... I can look for that. I saved it somewhere outside of PS.

    Edit - Here ya go JO
    Castello di Vigoleno (Castle of Vigoleno), Vernasca, Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
    The Castle, once a ducal palace, is located on a hill in the center of a medieval town.
    The Castle is protected by two surrounding walls, one medieval and the other renaissance.
    The Castle of Vigoleno was recently on the market for $12.7 million.
    Parts of the Film Ladyhawke staring Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer were shot at the Vigoleno Castle.

    I know what you mean
    I spent about 30 minutes trying to find where i put the little slip of paper that had Shahdiza on it [from earlier doing Chiezbehrg].
    hehe. I sort of remembered it, but needed to find that to be sure.
    I'm happy to be be back in the big city. It's a good feeling to visit again.

    A little more progress on the layout.
    Might switch over to doing some dungeons for a bit.

    A bit more sketch progress.
    We've got some mine activity outside the walls - The Pit [for now].
    Might be a bit of a connection to some of the dungeon stuff, maybe.
    I might map some of the mines, not sure.
    Time will tell where this will go.

    Fascinating...

    I love watching how you are interpreting the topography here. I'm getting a whole lot of extra inspiration for my own district to the north of this

    Are we going to link the dungeon project to the city project, then, or is this a separate development?
