Thanks for this   ;)   
And by the way - YOU ARE BACK!         :o           Welcome back,Your Grace   =]

Your presence on these forums is imperative - we need more of those informative and often dangerously funny,quality arguments.

Or the thing on the following image......Although I believe the phenomenon depicted below does not qualify as an argument.   I would call it a contradiction.     :P

Touche     B)     You know what?  That picture accurately depicts some of the worst BSN "debates" I have seen here,taken to the extreme,lol.

Ship promptly steered back on course.


@sjpelkessjpeler :    :devil:    I am always too much.Sometimes too much even for myself   :)  

Glad we could make you laugh.That is worth losing my dignity over any day. :)

How would the houses of the Arlathan elves look like on the inside?

Being immortal and in touch with the old gods and nature it might look colourfull and with
a lot of elements from nature.

Here are some ideas:

Image IPB

Elven ancient modern art.... Image IPB

Image IPBmurials with leafpatterns......

Image IPB

Letting the Arlathan forest get inside the living quarters...................Image IPB

Image IPB

Elven idea of a griffon? Image IPB

And lastly some commen jugs and jars for everyday use:

Image IPBdecorated in 'elven style' of course Image IPB

Those images are breathtaking! The archipelago pictures are truly inspiring :) Great finds!

And who can say what the enemies might look like in either location? :) Or the pets? I'd like to have a nug of my own, or even a friendly deepstalker. There are certainly a lot of forces--magical and otherwise--working in Thedas that could have untold effects on these locales. Part of the fun is wondering what they might be capable of :) And as for literal Arlathan survivors, IIRC...


SPOILERS (sorry!)


...Arl Foreshadow's codex mentions them in a manner which appears dismissive but IMHO seems more provocative than anything :)

Also, considering Kal Sharok; I haven't been able to get a picture of it to paste but there are several underground cities in Cappadocia, Turkey (Kaymakli, Derinkuyu, etc.) that are intriguing. They all IIRC had pretty impressive ventilation systems, and some appear to have had winemaking apparati, surprisingly large and intricately carved rooms and so on...


I have seen those caves,they are amazing! There is even a cave hotel   :)  Unfortunately,I have never been to Turkey,although our culture and language has a lot of Turkish heritage (I am from Hungary and we had the Turks as guests for a while:),so at least I had the chance to experience some of the architecture and Turkish baths.Hell yeah <_<

I have seen numerous images of these Cappadocian caves,but hope you will be able to post those of your choosing sometime - I am curious as to which ones you would recommend as an inspiration for a future DA3 locale.

As for the nug - oh,Maker,yes please    :lol:  There was a forumite - I think it was Leon481-who wanted to have Schmooples` descendant for a pet,but with perks - imagine,he wished for an intelligent, magic-wielding battle-nug!   

            =]  Wait,it`s in here :  Goofy Stuff Thread   



Yes, I wish I knew more about these cities...they're absolutely gorgeous!  Maybe some day you can visit and see the cave cities in person? :)  The architecture sounds unique and beautiful in Hungary :)

Yes, Schmooples is adorable!  I sometimes like to think that Leliana leaves him at Vigil's Keep during her Chantry work to play with Ser Pounce-a-lot and Dog :)  After all he's seen Schmooples is certainly a seasoned veteran of the Blight himself!

Below are some of the cave images I was thinking of by way of Kal Sharok:

http://t3.gstatic.co...VEjIbcHsiVEe7-Q

The above is from http://www.cappadocia.travel...it is from Goreme, I believe...a cave church but it has a beautiful entrance.

Below is also an image of the "fairy chimneys" that seem to be common in Cappadocia.  Kal Sharok may or may not have a lot of aboveground entrances, but these are amazing.  This image is from http://phoebettmh.bl...-of-fairy.html:

Image IPB

The below is a cave church in Goreme,  a Byzantine hurch but here perhaps a Shaperate?  It is from http://paulsmit.smug...434321&k=4q4Bf:

http://t1.gstatic.co...7Csiuc5_S4lAgW_

Great ideas, everyone! :)

I really think Kal Sharok went in another direction than the dwarves in Orzammar.
Think we think alike on that matter. There are posts in the beginning of this thread that
look like those great pictures you posted.

Worth looking/digging Image IPB into some more........................

Looking forward of what you come up with Image IPB.

@WardenWade : those are fascinating ideas! And as sjpelkessjpeler wrote, Kal Sharok could have indeed taken another direction,so perhaps the Orzammar design is not ubiquitous?The Primeval Thaig,being older than the Memories,also looked different...makes you wonder who built it in the first place        :whistle:

I loved the "chimneys" as above ground entrances idea you posted-and I could also imagine dwarves carving lookout posts into the stone itself.But even if Kal Sharok once had those entrances,they were most likely destroyed by the dwarves themselves when those pesky darkspawn showed up.

As for architecture  in Hungary - well,it is a mish-mash of everything,like everywhere else in Europe.
A lot of folks left their mark on the culture- the most notable being the Celts (most noticable in our folk music and the art of some regions) ,The Romans,The Ottoman Empire,the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Soviet regime.
Most guests have left something worthwhile behind,with the Soviet regime being the notable exception.Their architecture is...lacking,to say the least.Wish they had left us some russian onion domes instead    :lol:
It is surely fun to be stuck between the east and west...   :P

EDIT : I only mentioned this stuff because of the cultural / architectural influences,did not mean to delve into politics here.     ;)

I just laughed out loud,having imagined Schmooples playing with the dog and the brave Ser Pounce-a-Lot.
The dog jumping around barking playfully,with Schmooples making those funny little sounds,while Ser Pounce-a-Lot is curled up in the corner,looking on with a mused expression on his face.

@sjpelkessjpeler :   Woooow! Waouh must be beside himself with joy! Those are brilliant....makes me really bent on having that masquerade ball in Orlais. It would be even more fascinating if the fan language of the 18th century was implemented in the game somehow (no,I do not mean BW fan language lol - but those things the folks were waving about in times of old).     :o

Well, we're already half a page down, so I guess simply a new post is the wisest course B).

A bit of colour for Rivain.
Ordinary houses, not castles or palaces. The architecture is warm Mediterranean / moderately subtropical climates (Azores, Canary islands, southern parts of Portugal and Spain etc.).
Since Rivain is vaguely 'Iberian' but presumably at the warm end of the spectrum (more Costa del Sol and Madeira rather than Navarre of Catalonia), I thought these provide a pretty decent 'basis' for imagining the residential architecture of ordinary people.
Of course, these are a bit too clean, but add a bit of grime and gentle, sunny decay and you're there:).

Image IPB

(A bit of green countryside. Being a peninsula surrounded by water, I suppose much of Rivain is actually reasonably well-watered, and therefore likely to be green. Of course, some parts may be pretty parched parts of the year)

Das Tentakel, can really see the colourfull rivaini people living in those beautifull houses with
their straw roofs and colourfull walls Image IPB in the countryside.

The balcony pictures are really great. Very suitable in a big city in Rivain.
This is a really nice surprise I found when I came back from work Image IPB.

There have been some posts already in regards to the different direction the Kal Sharok dwarves may have taken.
If they do not worship the paragons there this could be an alternative:


Image IPB The one who saved them from the darkspawn invasion made into a single object of worship? Image IPB

LOL,it looks like Smartarse Smurf,or whatever he was called in English, minus the glasses and the blues.
And he is missing one hand and a foot,lol. The Kal Sharok dwarves are worshipping....Smarta**e Smurf?    =]
Sorry for being a nutcase again,but I think I have a sunstroke. `Tis most unusually hot over here,but it only lasts
3 whole days / year!    :lol:

I like your idea,sjpelkessjpeler - it is definitely interesting to ponder whether the Kal Sharok dwarves` beliefs are also different :wizard:

@Das Tentakel : So this is what the Internet has stolen from you yesterday. No wonder,mate.That post is glorious.
Especially all those shiny pants hung outside    :o

Seriously though,I could definitely imagine common folk having abodes like that,especially the "sunscreens" and the balconies overgrown with vines.  I have to wonder,however,whether the windmill idea had anything to do with the Land of Windmills    <_<  
That post was worth the wait a million times over. Dank je.
