  • Obmunjalae 6th Floor

    I finished assigning every room of the 6th floor to a function and made this isometric view of the floor. The rooms starting from the lower left are:
    Pilot’s deck
    Suyen house
    Service elevators on the sides
    Lukaud’s private room
    Gathering/recreation room
    Central stairs
    Showers
    Restrooms
    Main elevators
    Drink lounge

    The rooms on the sides are 22 passenger rooms, each including a balcony.

    There are a few more rooms to plan out on the 5th floor, and then it will probably be getting the same treatment.

  • Obmunjalae Kitchen

    The Obmunjalae has four kitchens, two for each dining area. Each kitchen has three cooking ranges with a nearby preparation table and waste bin for each station. There are two more prep tables in the other part of the room for non-cooked items. There is also a dumbwaiter against the wall that connects to a cold storage room on the floor below.

    The kitchen staff utilizes magically summoned cooking utensils in lieu of having permanent ones. The stands in front of each prep table hold token books with “recipe tokens” which are used to summon the instructions and needed tools to create a dish. The staff can prepare, cook, and serve the food, then afterwards simply dispel the magically generated items. No cleaning necessary!

    The image above includes Yoseka, the kitchen master of the Obmunjalae. Yezukh’ay is delivering an egg to prepare a dessert.

    Another view of the kitchen to show the back area with the additional prep tables.

  • A Little Let Down

    Sparky, doing some inter-dimensional tourism, got an offer from Yezukh’ay to meet Lukaud while they changed into their female gwil aspect. They mentioned the lurin wouldn’t be wearing any clothes when they exited their nest sphere, which predictably caught Sparky’s attention. Yezukh’ay didn’t mention that Lukaud’s gwil form intentionally lacked some details, and also found his attempt to conceal his disappointment hilarious.

  • Lukaud’s Gwil Aspect

    I made some updates to Lukaud’s gwil aspect, including some new patterns, pockets, and some divisions on the chest of their outfit, as well as new spots on their feet.

  • Obmunjalae – Stairs

    The latest addition to the Obmunjalae: stairs that run from the base deck of the oben all the way up to the center of the pri-ben. These provide vertical traversal in case of an emergency, or an alternate path through the seven floors for those who seek a bit of exercise.

    In the oben, the stairs have a utilitarian design that snakes up from the sides to the fourth floor catwalks. Just above the large ceiling logo, the base of the fancier stairwell for the upper floors begins.

    That stairwell then reaches up to the middle of the pri-ben.

    This leaves the 2nd and 3rd floors as areas that can only be accessed via elevators. Space is a bit tighter in that section, so any stairway spot will have to be carefully planned out.

  • Scenes on the Obmunjalae

    The pilot’s deck. Lukaud in their suyen form along with Vangeren, second in command.

    The above scene is during the Obmunjalae’s periodic visit to an island of suyens. Lukaud just dropped off supplies and they’re taking off, but the the two noticed a suyen making an escape off the island towards the vessel. Lukaud is subtly pushing the throttle back.
    For now, Vangeren is using the model for Miryin from Shehsai the Purifier.

    I’ve recently revisited the written story of Yezukh’ay, and that inspired me to stage some scenes from the story and make some other various updates to the vessel.

  • The Obmunjalae Voidplane Vessel

    The Obmunjalae (“Voidplane Master” in the gwil language) is the largest and most luxurious vessel on the Voidplane. The vessel is owned by the shapeshifting lurin named Lukaud. They are one of the few people that can safely navigate over long distances and visit different nations across the plane.

    The miniature universe of the Voidplane has a gravitational effect that moves things towards a flat plane from both directions. Essentially, if you fall through the plane, gravity will suddenly reverse on you. It also means that symmetrical designs can be made where one side is the “upside-down” mirror of the other. The Obmunjalae is one such design.

    Lukaud also manages smaller craft that can be parked in the oben (large open space in the center of the Obmunjalae) which can be seen in the lower right. One is a customized Voidskimmer from the nation of Sha Rephart, and the other is Lukaud’s personal mini craft.

  • Voidleaper

    This is an update to an earlier scene, with the current design for the suyen characters and some changes to the design of the vessel “Obmunjalae” that the characters are riding on.
    Yezukh’ay, the suyen making the jump in the middle, escaped their impoverished island by leaping into the Voidplane with some makeshift wing paddles and swimming over to the Obmunjalae as it was departing. When they grew up, they got into void leaping as a sporting activity.
    There are a number of onlookers:
    Bottom: Lukaud of the Lurin shapeshifters. The owner of the Obmunjalae vessel and Yezukh’ay’s caretaker.
    Right: Tisi of… an unnamed aquatic race of plane natives. An oddity, as very few significant bodies of water exist on the Voidplane.
    Far right: Kemadrel of the tanteru, and one of the three Council Lords of Sha Repart.
    Above: Tatyakori of the dragons, and another member of the Council Lords of Sha Repart.
    Left: The suyen Ontakh’in, the chonkier of the siblings that are employed as attendants of Tatyakori.
    Standing on Tatyakori’s head: The suyen Ibril, Ontakh’in’s sibling.

  • Lukaud and Yezukh’ay

    I created a little photo for the Sharpheart page so these important characters get a mention there.

  • Sha Rephart Island Social District Center

    …And now there’s something more substantial at the center of the social district. The hexagon contains a winding pathway downward to the center structure. Underneath that center structure are stairways that go all the way down to the Voidplane level, allowing access to what will probably be a mirrored structure on the reverse side of the island.

    The center structure is based on the monument found in the Golden Pyramid.
