[QUOTE="Wolfspirit, post: 1216369, member: 737"] My first thought about a ghoulish city is bone. Lots of it. If you look at the building materials that have been popular to the ghoulish army, you'll see siege engines and ballistas all built out of the remains of enemies. This seems like an indication that they're light on mineral / metal wealth, other than that siezed from assimilated civilizations. I personally think it'd be cool to have buildings made out of a combination of bone and stone... with the posibility of crystal and stalactites/mites included. One pretty vivid image I have is the skeletal remains of a giant... possibly one of their powerfull leaders that refused to succumb to ghoulism that was animated to provide some movement, yet was restricted by massive crystal sculptures that bind him. Imagine walkint into the city and seeing a "Giant Tower" writhing slowly... I think I'm going to have to draw this at some point. Something of this nature might also have a defensive purpose... noone expects the frigging buildings to start attacking. Another monument that I'm not sure if it would cross the line, is some collection of "tokens" taken from childeren that have been slain for the crusade. Might have to put some more thought into this one (I'm not sure how well it would mesh with the way you've seen the ghouls dealing with "non-surface dwellers", but a real vivid "this is why you've fought for months in the land Aeos forgot" might create more of a sense of accomplishment than any stuff they might find. Might also be cool if it gives some more clues to the ghoulish prophecy about the child, which might actually be accurate :) Well, enough of the Post of Vile Darkness... probably going to teach D&D to a girl here soon. :D [/QUOTE]
