    Default 21 - Monastery of Realisminites and its vicinities [Pixie]

    So this is my opening.

    When I had a look at the large map, I imagined the area where sections 21 and 22 are as a kind of greenish, less-dense area between the two main urban areas around the large lakes. I figured it could be an area where the ground is less stable and not so capable of sustaining large buildings.

    Then it dawned me that the tiny lake in area 21 could actually by recent, and that a large ancient temple collapsed when the "pit" opened up at the surface. This would surely justify an area that was left partially untouched - holy grounds, but unstable. So that's the southern part of the section.

    On the northern part, a new version of the temple would have been built. From this seed, I had the idea that the said temple could be a sort of monastery/academy, where young recruits for the Guild could live and practice, as they carve WIP after WIP of unreplied posts. However, since I belong to a minority around here that accept nothing less than ultra natural accuracy in my settings, this wouldn't be where the whole of the trainees stay, but only those who believe they can create an imaginary planet that is 100% credible (in vain... oh, so much in vain!).
    So the Order of Realism was born. Always filled with novices in the dormitories, always with grand and unfinished projects going on. With one foot in the Guild, yet proudly set outside the city walls. The place where Geoff's Climate Cookbook and Azelor's Tutorial on Climate are Gospel, where the monks waste countless days discussing tectonics and where many young ones despair when in face with... realism.

    (Edit): Neighbours list:
    Robbie is just next door with The Old Cartographers' Guild Hall and Administrative Quarter.
    And Snodsy to the southeast, with his Engineering and Power District
    Whipstache doing his Handmaiden's Burrow
