[QUOTE="The_Magician, post: 2349365, member: 14978"] I have read both the "Eberron Campaign Setting" and "Sharn, City of Towers" sourcebook, and failed to find a good description of how those towers look from the inside. I am aware, that there isn't a single stadard repeated in all towers, and I can figure some stuff out, but my biggest problem is trying to picture the bottom level of towers that have an area with 2,500 feet in diameter. Since the books say that most streets in Sharn are indoors, and that towers are built close ot eahc other, connected by bridges and walkways, I wonder how this architecture work. If the are inside the tower is 2,500 feet wide, you have more than a single street (even them being 25 feet wide with 5 feet wide sdiewalks on both sides) crossing through the tower E-W and N-S. Take a residencial tower in Dura, for instance, at the lowest levels. Lets suppose one of those bottom level sis 2,500 feet wide. How are those house/apartments organised? Are there street blocks, with buildings that go from ground to ceilling? As if you had walled a portion of a city inside the walls of a tower? And yes, I know I can create anything I want, but I thought I would come here and get some advice from a bunch of people. =P [/QUOTE]
