44 - The Precincts of the Dead [Diamond]

[Diamond]

I picked section 44 because it has a couple of nice little hills and a long strip of waterfront property - kind of made me think of a half-flooded graveyard type of setting.

I think what it is, is a hilltop monastery (The Diamantene Order ), along with a graveyard and a bunch of waterfront mausoleums that are ruined and half-flooded. Seemed like a good idea at the time as a place for those rich folks to bury their dead... A lot of the monastery is abandoned, maybe even half-ruined; the Order isn't what it used to be. There might be a little tavern in there somewhere too, so folks visiting the bone orchard can come in from the chill and sit by the fire for a while.

Ooooh! Creepy!

Lots of mist and special effects then

I like the sound of the
this section was one that I really hoped someone would take and really go with.

Sounds great Diamond, you got the right spot for a hilltop monastery here. Can i rent a family mausoleum in extra large there, the family of late embassador Xriquq is huge? Looking forward to see more of it!

[Diamond]

I hope I can live up to expectations! City mapping is definitely NOT my specialty, but I really need to get into it, since a lot of my writing has stalled out for lack of city maps...

Anyway, here's a first pass at roughing in some ideas. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do with that long strip along the top. I think maybe it's half-abandoned townhouses, ruined and waterlogged from some decades-past flooding. Maybe one or two of them are claimed by a thieves' guild.

And consequently where the skaven live
Or better yet.... croc people yes!!!
Ooooh, and thin wirey snake men... yeah.... who steal from graves... and eat the dead
It's dangerous down there!!

I agree, it seems to be perfect for a narrow slippery path along the cliffs. On the one side a streaming river down below, on the other side entrances to long abandoned crypts

[Chashio]

Haha, croc people... took a moment for my mind to take that in the intended direction and not to the holey shoes. I need sleep, apparently.

I like the sound of it, Diamond.

I hope no waste from you're corpses is gonna seep down that hill into the water supply.

A little not constructive comment :

This thread sounds like a weird Romero/Carpenter crossover. I like that !
