Thread: Looking for highly structured & symmetrical lawful evil city

    Default Looking for highly structured & symmetrical lawful evil city

    Hello,

    I'm creating a city that is ruled by devil worshippers. I want to stress structure and order.

    I'm asking if anyone is aware of a map - background and description text useful but not required - of a city that has a highly structured and symmetrical layout to an anally retentive extreme. I'm aware of several evil-ish cities (Pathfinder setting, Invincible Overlord, etc) but they all pretty much have an "organic" layout.

    Thanks.

    anally retentive extreme.
    In the sense of constipated? As is a lot of congestion?

    I think the intended meaning is simply 'structured, organized and symmetrical to excess', in that the city's layout was presumably pre-planned and laid out precisely, and then kept that way as it was constructed and/or grew, for sheer ideological reasons rather than for any practical concerns (and indeed, possibly even kept symmetrical and organized in layout even in defiance of practical concerns).

    Yes. I figured he was just being snarky

    There's this one that's pretty symmetric.

    Well that is a very strange way to say it. I googled the expression and could not find the exact meaning of it except at one place were someone said it was crude language.
