Imagine without the foreground mountains... or maybe there IS a mountain range somewhere in the Great City: http:// | Imagine without the foreground mountains... or maybe there IS a mountain range somewhere in the Great City: http:// | ||
- | Oh Yes, this is totally a scene from one of the pinnacles of the city: http://browse.deviantart.com/ | + | ==Tower Neighborhood== |

+ | ==Closing In== | ||
+ | As the rooftop neighborhoods build on each other, they rise up into towers, obscuring the rooftop until eventually becomes roof and chasms: http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Rooftop Rise== | ||
+ | A heights district raised up above the rooftops: http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Upper Mid Strata== | ||
+ | A good perspective showing rooftops, roofs, and chasms: http:// | ||

+ | ==Trickle-down Aquatics== | ||
+ | An evening view of a water feature as it cascades down from a heights neighborhood, | ||

+ | ==Roof Strata Light== | ||
+ | On bright days, the roof strata can be quite well lit like this: http:// | ||

+ | ==The Way Down== | ||
+ | Entering the Depths, most everything is in a state of crumbling decay: http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some people head into the Depths searching for adventures: http:// | ||

+ | ==Depths Stalls== | ||
+ | Imagine ancient spells of light still persist in what were once stalls of a marketplace: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Old Temple== | ||
+ | Often the Depths have standing water that comes down from above during rainstorms or just as the result of sewage being shunted below: http:// | ||

+ | ==Into the Earth== | ||
+ | Below the city depths are the deeps, places that were actually under the original city. This place was a mine: http:// | ||
