[QUOTE="Kafkonia, post: 3228006, member: 40261"] A city which exists spread across the world, with every building attached to every other building by means of shared magical portals (think the front door of Howl's Moving Castle but with more options.) Anyone who knows the correct settings can walk from one building directly to another. If the system goes awry, people could be stranded in whatever building they're in, or they could be stuck trying to navigate through ever-shifting doorways (think [i]Cube[/i].) An underground city designed like a miniature Dyson sphere -- people live on the inside of the sphere, with a 'sun' at its centre. A city covering a small area of land but filled with towers that reach dozens of storeys into the sky. To us, they're apartment buildings, but to the citizens they have no idea how these things were built. A concave city that hangs upside-down in the sky, its gravity inverted. A city that is mounted on rails, either travelling across the land under the power of a system the citizens don't understand or powered by slaves who work "belowdecks." A city built entirely from permanent force effects. Magic would be a touchy issue here. A city built from the remains of a dead being of tremendous size, perhaps even a god. A Moebius city. Everything is built along the "strip", and if you walk long enough you'll eventually wind up where you started -- but not before you spend half your trip on the underside of the city. A city where certain members of the elite can rearrange its layout as they see fit -- like the Strangers in [i]Dark City[/i]. A city made from a crashed airship, the remnants of a suspension bridge, or an elevated highway -- any large artefact out of the reach of the current magic/technology of the world. A city on the back of an immense construct that is still seeking to fulfill the last orders its creator gave it. [/QUOTE]
