[QUOTE="darjr, post: 8596841, member: 52905"] He posts some original concept art as well. [callout]Fun throwback to concept pieces for the [URL='https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/RadiantCitadel']#RadiantCitadel[/URL]! The first is the very first sketch ever drawn of the Radiant Citadel, done by [URL='https://twitter.com/the_strix']@the_strix[/URL] while I rambled at her after inspiration hit me while I was in bed reading. We jammed for hours on it. [URL='https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/dnd']#dnd[/URL] [URL='https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/ttrpg']#ttrpg[/URL] [URL='https://threadreaderapp.com/hashtag/desidnd']#desidnd[/URL][URL='https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPq60ylaAAALJ--.jpg'][IMG alt="Image"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPq60ylaAAALJ--.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL='https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPq67TQVgAEB20a.jpg'][IMG alt="Image"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPq67TQVgAEB20a.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL='https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPq7TCVUYBMF6Ef.jpg'][IMG alt="Image"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPq7TCVUYBMF6Ef.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I have lots of notes from that first conversation--here is a small taste: "This is the central location of [redacted], and it is a place of trade, diplomacy, learning, and mystery. The current occupants don't know where it came from but have occupied it and learned to use it." "There are 15 mini-floating island-buildings. Each has a single building that is [redacted] corresponds to 1 of the 15 locations. Below the base-level of the central island-city will be a protruding gemstone geode that corresponds to one of the 15 locations." "Those protruding mix of 15 geode gemstones corresponding to each of the 15 locations is where the mini-islands dock. But do they dock or teleport people/goods inside? Maybe when they all dock they form a pangea." "Think of all of these as sort of airships meets floating-cities. But not quite as large as a floating city. While the main center basically always stays afloat, the smaller ones go back and forth to the corresponding Location for trade/diplomacy." "They can land on the ground [redacted], and conduct trade/diplomacy/adventuring base. They pick up goods and bring it back to the central city, then sell/buy from there, and ship it via another floating island to another Location." "And the main floating city ties to [redacted]. A little bit of inspiration for this comes from Nalanada." Obviously, much has changed from that initial concept jam, but also a lot of the genesis was in that first burst of inspiration and conversation. As for the Concord Jewels, the two images attached are how I envision two of the Jewels looking in shape, if not color. Each Concord Jewel has a unique shape, even if they work exactly the same. This creates a stunning, luminescent constellation of Jewels orbiting the Citadel. Anyway, hope this was an enjoyable sneak-peek into the original conversation and genesis of the Radiant Citadel![/callout] [MEDIA=twitter]1511734426425733128[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
