 Imagine without the foreground mountains... or maybe there IS a mountain range somewhere in the Great City: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/057/0/8/Fantasy_City___Closer_look_by_MiG_05.jpg Imagine without the foreground mountains... or maybe there IS a mountain range somewhere in the Great City: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/057/0/8/Fantasy_City___Closer_look_by_MiG_05.jpg
  
-Oh Yes, this is totally a scene from one of the pinnacles of the city: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=24#/d31yf52+==Tower Neighborhood== 
 +A pinnacle neighborhood built directly covering an entire heights neighborhood: http://lordoffog.deviantart.com/gallery/26931165#/d3esim5
  
-A little too high-tech looking, but structurally spot on: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=192#/d46nrf9+Same with bridge to another heights area: http://lordoffog.deviantart.com/gallery/26931165#/d2oet8m
  
 +==View from the Pinnacles==
 +Oh Yes, this is totally a scene from one of the pinnacles of the city: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=24#/d31yf52
 +
 +==Stormy Pinnacles==
 A storm brews amongst the pinnacles: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=216#/d3lerup A storm brews amongst the pinnacles: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=216#/d3lerup

 +==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://browse.deviantart.com/digitalart/paintings/fantasy/?qh=&section=&q=city#/d23z3ul
 +
 +==Rooftop Rise==
 +A heights district raised up above the rooftops: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=240#/d3eol10
 +
 +==Upper Mid Strata==
 +A good perspective showing rooftops, roofs, and chasms: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=264#/d32ovx4
 +
 +Even better: http://lordoffog.deviantart.com/gallery/26931165#/d37s0kn
 +
 +==Trickle-down Aquatics==
 +An evening view of a water feature as it cascades down from a heights neighborhood, down to the rooftops, and down into a chasm amongst the roofs: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=264#/d26h128
 +
 +==Roof Strata Light==
 +On bright days, the roof strata can be quite well lit like this: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=ancient+interior#/d1ftmw3
 +
 +Roof strata interiors can, however, also be dim, even when there are skylights present: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=skylight&order=9&offset=120#/d15uq62
 +
 +Skylights range from very simple to very complex stained glass: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=skylight&order=9&offset=120#/d8xzi1
 +
 +==Life in the Chasms==
 +A little too high-tech looking, but structurally spot on, here's the view from a relatively open chasm area, with heights and pinnacles in the background: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fantasy%20city&order=9&offset=192#/d46nrf9
 +
 +==Warrens Cavern==
 +Sometimes the warrens open up into large spaces. Here's a very nice warrens neighborhood. Please ignore the blimp. Note the chasms above:http://lordoffog.deviantart.com/gallery/26931165#/d48xmdy
 +
 +==Tumbledown Shop==
 +Down in the underneath, this was once a prosperous shop in the sun some centuries ago: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=underground+ruin#/d4oasvw
 +
 +But some of these ancient alcoves are still occupied, down in the dark, like this shop: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=underground&order=9&offset=192#/d3cy0e2
 +
 +==The Way Down==
 +Entering the Depths, most everything is in a state of crumbling decay: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=underground%20ruin&order=9&offset=24#/d2fq7ry
 +
 +Some people head into the Depths searching for adventures: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=underground%20ruin&order=9&offset=24#/d1abwbk
 +
 +==Depths Stalls==
 +Imagine ancient spells of light still persist in what were once stalls of a marketplace: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=underground%20ruin&order=9&offset=120#/dcjx1u
 +
 +==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://browse.deviantart.com/?q=underground&order=9&offset=96#/ducml8
 +
 +==Into the Earth==
 +Below the city depths are the deeps, places that were actually under the original city. This place was a mine: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=underground#/d4ae7g3
