I'll divide them to small crunchy bits. If there is anything you want to change, just say so.Physical AppearanceOne can almost perceive some design behind the architectural cacophony that is Gormenghast, some hidden logic secreted behind the myriad of domes and towers, courtyards and promenades, balconies and alcoves that, taken together, comprise the City that is a Dream. The complex is dominated by the Tower of Crows, an impossibly tall thin black square tower capped by an aviary. Below the tower lies the Council Dome, a huge silver dome out of which slit-like windows colored light shines out like beacons in the night, each window casting a different hue on the surrounding domes, towers, and rooftops that lie below.Around hundreds of small towers, villas, and other great houses crowed hundreds more shanty buildings, crouching and leaning onto each other as if gasping for air, or perhaps reaching for the great dome's light. This is then the structure that is Gormenghast - a confused and jumbled assortment of impossible architecture drawn with unerring design.Below the covenant proper sits a small town, perhaps a village. Its cobbled streets are windy but wide, and its houses low yet spacious. Much now is in ruin, and many of the residences stand empty, the streets lifeless, and the people few and far in between. The village and covenant lie in a valley, surrounded by hills that mark the border of the regio the nests them. By ancient law the valley and hills are unhampered, unspoiled by man's touch. No road connects Gormenghast to the hills, no road to tie it to land or tribunal. Yet somehow the covenant and village carry on, for food and goods do come to Gormenghast is ways more mysterious then mere roads. A hidden power looks over Gormenghast, even onto it long winter.</blockquote>
