So… already an update on the Garden.

The three outer rings now house pavilions, available to rent for various activities. Similar structures exist on Lucan Hill, the other major “nature” area of Agwilcress. Much of the garden now has a ground cover of sandy soil instead of grass; planters of various flora will eventually make their way on there. At the center of the garden is a sculpture incorporating a waterfall fountain and light fixtures shaped like berry plants.

The outer grassy track is often used for exercise and racing, and every year there’s the “Bisuwiki’s Run”, in which Prerarts dart around the track in recognition of legendarily swift Prerart, Bisuwiki. (There’s also going to be a statue of her here eventually.)

This park sits on the west side of Agwilcress. At the top of the picture there’s a glimpse of the clusters of cabins atop the Veli Cliffs.

Some new additions, including some hexagonal designs on the entrance’s floor, some railings and more hexagon designs around the underground residence openings, and some basic foliage. Not pictured are some additions the side walls of the building.

Also new are the four different symbols in the arches of the front face of the library. They represent the four primary divisions of the Ayra Katrin: Engineers, Enchanters, Spellcasters, and Scholars.

For reference, a picture from last time I posted about the library:

Guess I turned the lights way up this time.

Last time I updated the front entrance, I made the upper arch rounder, which also made the painting not fit the space as well. Recently I started work on fixing that, and now the Agwils adorning the doorway have a bit bigger and newer look. There’s also a new seven-sided star, symbol of the nation, placed on the floor.

I also came up with a new symbol of the Kylal family, seen in white in the middle of the new picture. It represents the horns of the family, which tend to stand more upright than most Agwilikans. (The symbol on the old picture is messed up due to some mirroring that went on at some point in construction.)

A view from inside the main courtyard of the Kylal Palace, situated between the ceremony hall and library. The window in the middle looks into the back of the ceremony hall. The dimly lit dome of one of the wings is visible on the left.

There’s a new design for a common type of pillar used on the palace, with a more circular arch and a blue diamond shaped stone inlaid into each one. The double doors got an update to have better defined edges, and most windows now have brass supports built into them.

The painting around the window represents Mibru, a species of rodent-like animals that are very common in the forests of the region.

An earlier view of the courtyard can be seen here.

The circle-shaped palace wing is used as the personal residence of the Kylal family. There are two wings to the palace, with the second one being for the Akelikan Kylals, despite the fact that they were killed off before the palace was built. Each wing contains sixteen equally sized rooms in addition to the pictured lobby.

The wings and the library all have a dome at their center of their floor plan. At the very top of the dome’s interior is a seven-pointed star, the national symbol.

Originally made for housing military families, the Residential Block now offers the largest amount of living space in Agwilcress. The Block is located just East of the “head” and “neck” of the city’s design. You can see the Grand Pool beach, which takes up the “head”,  in the upper left corner of the picture. Due to their army origin, most buildings in the Block share the same floor plan and arranged in neat rows.

This open-air venue is built into a hill located on the inner east “wing” of Agwilcress.

The theater and surrounding hill is named after Lucan Metril, the Ayra Katrin engineer that was in charge of converting Agwilcress from a military base to the nation’s capital.

Two Prerart statues adorn the building, representing the siblings Buridamer and Kemidamer. They are famous for writing music and singing, respectively, during the Second War.

The most apparent improvement to the bath is the new faucet console, with a far more detailed brass dragon’s head. The lower jaw is designed to open and let water out. There were also four faucets on the last version, but I decided that was excessive so simplified to one. The brass opening below the faucet is the drain and also houses an automatic shut-off mechanism.

The two rooms in the back are showers, with two identical rooms to their right. The door on the left is the toilet. The arched opening behind the bench leads to an exit going out to a courtyard. The hexagonal objects attached to the walls are lights (hmm… I think they need some material work to make them appear more light-like).
