Context: Aesthetic comparisons for world-building visualization.
Re-Estize Kingdom (Medieval French/English style):
Architecturally stagnant. Cities are a mess of timber-framed houses, narrow muddy alleys, and "organic" growth. Castles are functional, grey, and cold, built for defence rather than beauty.
Baharuth Empire (Roman/Neoclassical style):
Focuses on order and efficiency. Paved stone roads connect all major cities. Buildings feature white stone, columns, and symmetrical layouts. It feels "modern" compared to the Kingdom.
The Sorcerer Kingdom (E-Rantel):
A hybrid. It retains its Re-Estize stone foundations but is being "optimised." New construction uses undead labour to move massive monolithic stones, creating structures that look like Gothic brutalism—imposing, dark, and perfectly precise.
The Slane Theocracy:
Features heavy Religous/Vatican-esque architecture. Grand cathedrals with stained glass and fortified citadels designed to withstand magical sieges.
