Womb of The Sobek Settlement in Star Tiger | World Anvil

Womb of The Sobek (Ulàppu Fassài)

The largest and presumably oldest settlement of the Sobek, called The Womb, is believed to be the place all Sobek come from.
Ulàppu can best be translated to nest, motherhood or womb.
The city skyline is wide and flat with several tall monuments towering over the small houses thoughout the city.

Demographics

Only Sobek live in The Womb, as aliens are not welcome that deep in Sobek territory.
The Hunter-Hearted and The Community-Hearted live side by side in The Womb, though the latter is much more present, as Hunter-Hearted often thrive better in the frontier worlds.

Tourism

Tourism is a special thing. In Sobek culture, traveling places is usually only done to move there, for a religious pilgrimage, or be part of a unique event.
Tourism for the sake of sight seeing is a very weird concept for them.
If other races come to Sobek, it is under very unique circumstances, as it is concidered being too deep in Sobek private space. The entire idea would offend a Sobek to its core.

Architecture

Comparing to the ecumenopolis of Century, it seems small for the Sobek capital to "only be a city", however large it is, but it is a large city. Where it really differes from human city is the lack of tall residential houses, making a broader, much flatter skyline with a few towering monuments in between, compared to Terran cities.
The city gives the vibe of an ever expanding series of gated communities, due to their obsession with own territory, owning what they have and owing nobody anything - Their living style plays really well into single-family detatched homes for ultimate privacy while at home to "hide their moments of weakness", while holding a social relation with their closest neighbours to secure peace around their home.
Sandstone and clay have always been popular building blocks in Sobek society

Natural Resources

As a very self-reliant sort, most Sobek tends their own gardens for fruits and vegetables.

I made this world because my mind keeps rambling, and instead of stopping it, I'm riding the wave.
It started with a picture in my mind of a tiger man in a small spacecraft following a giant tiger in space, in the tone of old saturday morning cartoons and the Heavy Metal animated movie.
Then came the idea of his occational ally, a woman in space flying a small asteroid. The more I wrote on her, the more I got intrigued by the past, I deviced.
Right now the flow is focused on her background - namely all related to The Genesis Project.
I do all of the writing and almost all of the drawing myself at this point.
My hope for Star Tiger is a published story or a graphical novel, but my big dream is an animated show.
