  1. Southern Ainwae Human Architecture:
  2. Lots of stone and clay work, plenty of woods available for
  3. logging. Lots of inspiration from Renaissance era architecture
  4.  
  5. Desert dwelling Human Architecture:
  6. Smooth sandstone, plenty of glass and tarp. Also a lot of
  7. temporary housing- tents or easily constructed lean-to's
  8.  
  9. Western Ainwae Human Architecture:
  10. Lots of Elvish inspiration- but instead of magically grown,
  11. built from felled trees and wood. Lots of rivers, so plenty
  12. of mobile boat houses. Thatching on the cheap, wooden roofs
  13. for those that can afford it.
  14.  
  15. Eastern Elvish Architecture:
  16. Close connection to nature has led to the actual cities
  17. being grown from within massive trees. Rooms carved into
  18. the tree itself, lots of balconies built outward. Communal
  19. living is common. Built housing is still constructed from
  20. living growth, usually multiple trees grown and woven
  21. together, the canopies forming roofs
  22.  
  23. Mountain Elvish Architecture:
  24. Dark elves inhabit the deepest parts of the mountains, where
  25. dwarves dare not go for fear of dangerous creatures. Stone
  26. is plentiful- and raiding parties tend to have a steady
  27. supply of other materials from attacking dwarven merchants.
  28. Creates an ecclectic atmosphere, clashing and harmonizing
  29. in odd ways. Biolumiscent living creatures are a primary
  30. source of lighting- fungi are rather popular. Particularly
  31. large stagmites and stalagtites are carved from the inside
  32. out to form towers and spires.
  33.  
  34. Mountain Dwarvish Architecture:
  35. Dwarves tend to live in the higher parts of the mountain,
  36. close to cave entrances. They hollow out as much as they
  37. can, and use the excess material to build. Wooden structures
  38. are found more near the outside, usually guard towers and
  39. gates. Stone buildings are carved with artistic care. They
  40. have discovered how to make concrete, making for large and
  41. solid structures. Mercantile by nature there are plenty of
  42. market spaces and stalls for sellers and crafters.
  43.  
  44. Mountain Orcish Architecture:
  45. Orcs live on the rocky peaks and valleys of the mountains
  46. and tend to come most in contact with dwarves. Early on it
  47. was a source of conflict. Orc dwellings are typically
  48. minimal- scavenged wooden structurers lined with furs.
  49. Large wooden walls with sharpened pikes are a sure sign of
  50. an orcish encampment. Fans of lodging and barracks.
