Though it is beautiful, it is also worth noting that, during “The Head of The Snake” story chapter from Living World Season 3, Queen Jennah revealed that the garden itself is a personal project of hers. The majority of this area is dominated by a biodome, a massive garden with a huge skylight dominating the center. Each of the five major zones are separated by the six pathways, five leading to the shrines of the six gods while the statue of Dwayna is closer to the center of the city surrounded by the dominant trade hub.Īn area of the city that is worth analyzing is the central core. There is a central garden node, and the city disperses evenly from there in a circular pattern. Thus, the clergy, the priesthood, or whatever titles the overseers of the dominant religion had, often had power over even those who could have been perceived as the leading rulers of the land.Īpplication of Geographical Analysis to Divinity’s Reachįirst, it is worth noting that Divinity’s Reach follows the example of the Garden City model for urban cities. Usually, however, the monarchy answered to the leading religions, often having been appointed “by God” or “by the gods”.
In more medieval contexts, seats of power were often in the hands of either the monarchy or the church.
The environment and the people essentially feed off of each other to create the community that exists. Such a phenomenon is referred to as the socio-spatial dialectic, where both a person’s environment and the environment itself work together to inform development. People groups in cities often have a say in how the city, or at least their specific community within a city, develops, usually determined by how they interact with it. This has changed over the course of time, depending on what the city and its residents determine as important. Historically, central cores of cities have been representative of seats of power. The divisions were in the circular pattern, districts moving outward from a central core. One such design was that of the Garden City, a city with a (mostly) circular design, separated by garden strips or terraces that created divisions between districts. Early in the development of urban geography as a field of study, many members of the nobility and those with wealth put design concepts forward for urban environments.
