Kate (project artist) raised the point a day or two ago that I've never provided any physical description of Solis itself. I've got notebooks full of jotted details, ideas, plot points, character doodles and other assorted game making paraphernalia, but no written (or even drawn) outline of how Solis City looks.

To address that, I've just finished exactly that. I'm not specifically an artist by trade (anything of any standard takes me days of trial and error to accomplish) so the below artworks are not meant to be anything more than slightly tidied sketches.



Verdamm City
Construction of the city follow the iron mines as they expanded into Mt. Errum itself. The city's centre now sits in the mouth of an enormous cave.



Solis City
Solis was built to house the engineering and maintenance needs of the world's Artificial Sun. As such, the city is built around the titanic 'umbilical' chord that tethers the Artificial Sun to the planet's surface. The constant proximity of the new sun has scorched the lands surrounding Solis, reducing them to grey, cracked deserts. The city is surrounded by crystalline domes where efforts to rejuvenate the terrain are being undertaken with significant success.
