Description

Kethrixal Hive is a sprawling insectoid city nestled in a deep canyon surrounded by arid desert. Its massive organic structures are crafted from hardened resin, wax, and chitin, forming a dark-fantasy alien hive. The city features a vast Broodheart Chamber for the Queen's eggs, a Royal Guard Hall for elite soldier training, and the bustling Market Warrens with trade tunnels. The Larval Nursery nurtures developing mantid larvae, while Resin Vaults store precious wax and goods. The Stinger Arena hosts brutal duels, all connected by spiraling tunnels and ramps. Spiked perimeter walls, hardened resin gates, and defensive towers protect the hive, adorned with colorful pheromone banners and caste symbols.

Appearance

The cityscape is dominated by towering, curved structures resembling giant insect exoskeletons, with glossy chitinous surfaces and waxy resin accents. The Broodheart Chamber glows faintly with bioluminescent light, while the Market Warrens buzz with activity beneath hanging pheromone banners. Defensive towers rise like organic spires, and spiked walls encircle the hive, giving it a menacing, alien silhouette against the desert backdrop.
