OOC : My greatest artistic weakness is architecture, and though I have not given up getting better with it, I know for sure there is no way I can properly express how I imagine Kurosian buildings to really look like. The best I’ve been able to do is link examples, and although I never found one that was exactly what I imagined for Kurosia, I’ve found MANY that come close.
The posts where I’ve talked and shown visuals of Kurosia can be found here.
To describe it, the Kurosian city is MASSIVE. Flying into it, you can look both ways and just see a sea of buildings, homes, temples, stadiums, colleges, parks, etc. It’s the central, most important city, so it’s almost unfathomably huge. Even looking down from the castle, you barely see the whole city.
The city slow rises up like a hill, and in the distance, you can see the castle looming high over the city as if perched on a ledge, and although there’s docks at the very entrance to the city for trade, the castle has it’s own docks as well.
The way the buildings are built aren’t like normal buildings, since they’re mostly for dragons, many visitors that don’t have wings often have to wear special enchanted things to keep themselves from suffering vertigo. The buildings have ledges and stops for dragons to fly to and from.
Since there is no real sky, the sun never beats down on Kurosia, so the city is often in hues of purples, deep blues, greens, and rarely oranges. The sky that hangs over Kurosia is thought as special and holy to the people, and it has it’s own biome behaviors for summer, fall, winter and spring. The weather outside of the Veil is often different, and if there weren’t catacombs leading out of Kurosia, most think that it’s in a dimension of it’s own. The mountain surrounding the city is incredibly cold all year round, since the city is on the highest peak of the mountain.
The Kurosian Mountains themselves are the equivalent of the Rocky Mountains. Kurosia is found in the middle, but the mountains spread out across a massive amount of lands forming an almost octopus formation. This I can probably doodle one day, as the mountains themselves have many empty kurosian villages and cities speckled acrossed it, as well as civilizations of other dark, evil beings like the Umbracorns. There are countless lakes, and rumors of deep, deep underground seas.
I uh, hope that helps! Honestly though, I don’t mind creative liberties taken even if there was solid references of Kurosia!
