I think it sounds more regal.

Are entheogens a common practice for religious hierarchy in Stormark?

Shyriath: I'd like to request an Antican temple complex located somewhere in the center of wherever you decide to locate a strongly-Antican neighborhood.

Hopefully it's well-stocked with copies of Diplomacy.

Might I suggest the Metrotheon or something of the like? It would be a huge temple of temples dedicated to all deities of Micras ever. I have the first-world problem of possessing to much money/to many resources and the laborers in Kingsgate are becoming less and less of a necessity in their current numbers so Suthergold would happily provide the means to its construction and maintenance.

I was imagining something along those lines on a smaller scale for my above request: a temple complex possessing several different parts, each section for the purposes of attending to the spiritual needs of the different religions held by Antican Shirerithians. Sort of like this:

Having such a structure for all religious traditions within Shireroth in one place would be dauntingly large, plus many different temples already exist.

By the way, Chris, do you remember my plan for the design of the Agora in Nafticon? The three-sided pediment thing with each side representing a period of Antica's history - dinarchy, republic, commonwealth. (Don't mention the flash of monarchy and other republics!) I've decided in my head that it was shipped to Sant Mateu at some point so it'll be described further soon.

Welp, that's approximately the idea behind the Multi-Temple, except that it doesn't include Cedrism. So as as far as ecumenical temples go, we're pretty well covered as is, unless we want to assume it was a casualty of the Crisis.

Whether or not that's the case, though, I can add an Antican temple complex as well.

You seem to be thinking 2-dimensionally. Let us not forget that the Tunnels or some other subterranean complex could expand to have more than enough room for such a structure. And while we're at it, why not dig out an entire underground sub-city beneath Shirekeep?

Which reminds me, I have to get the ball rolling on some things related to that.

Prefect,

I would value your thoughts. Following on from your invaluable work with the network of roads, I feel we must turn our attention to the wider issue of redevelopment in terms of establishing the districts, support infrastructure and notable buildings of the city. To me it would make sense to begin working from South to North, that is from Raynor's Keep to the Landsraad and then finally to the wall, and then from east to west.

Do you concur in this assessment?

I haven't been the Prefect in some time, Your Niftiness. :geek: That said, doing it that way devotes attention first to the core of the city, which you could argue is the proper way to go about it; but, on the other hand, you run the risk that should the redevelopment plan fizzle out as previous ones have, the westernmost reaches will suffer the most from it.

I know. I appointed your replacement, whom I was addressing. Please accept my apologies for any confusion caused by returning to an old thread.

In the event that the redevelopment stalls, as cannot be ruled out, we will at least have succeeded in developing the government districts and the commercial waterfront. The rest of the city would remain plebeian slum residences until their turn comes around.

Your Niftiness,

Your idea makes good sense, that was the approach we took in the road repair projects. During the work to rebuild and repair the roads, a great deal of the properties that were heaps of rubble and trash along the roads were seized as their owners or proprietors could not be found. Those who own properties that are nothing but rubble or have unsightly structures of no meaningful value may be eligible to receive incentives from the city government to redevelop their properties or repair them. We are in the process of evaluating our policy of eminent domain. Our thought on the matter is that private property can only be seized by the Redevelopment Commission if we're ready to give the owner of the property compensation slightly above market value.
