Hellenistic Temple (44x36)
Added 2022-03-09 13:30:58 +0000 UTCHey everyone! This weeks map is a day late, apologies for that! Let me present to you the Hellenistic Temple, the first map for the Churches & Temples theme.
Large temples dedicated to a variety of gods can be found in southern Callaern. Countless pillars carry stone roof over the massive structures. These temples are a truly marvelous piece of architecture found exclusively in this isolated region.
When the kingdom of Callaern was freed from the influence of the Burbric Empire they started setting up trade posts along the western coast of Wordal. The southern parts of these coasts never established trade routes with the Burbric Empire and were instead trading with the Kingdom of Tarnen. The people, the Peretoi, lived in magnificent settlements and built beautiful buildings. Great bathhouses and aqueducts impressed the first Callaern traders as they came to these lands.
Great temples cresting tall hills dot these lands, and they are decorated with statues and altars dedicated to numerous gods, some known, some not. Trade relations were established with the Peretoi, but it was not long before the Callaern started incorporating their trade posts into the kingdom and through a series of wars the entire west coast was conquered by the Kingdom of Callaern.

Comments
A very minor comment on these maps. On the gridless versions, the second floor actually shows the (blurred) grid of floor one. I guess the blurred "background" was made with the gridded version.
