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