Common Architecture

City Woods

Given the density of forests within the nation, clarainian culture was influenced by their beauty and their inclusion in the architecture of the nation was a natural outcome. Within the districts of each city, town and village, there is rarely a location where green is not the dominant color among the decorative flora.
The majority of alleys have greenery hanging from wooden grates between buildings and pottery filled with flowers resting on window stone rests, as well as lush shrubbery on the ground and hanging off of the walls. Many walls across the settlements have lattices where colorful flora grow upwards from planters, and it is common to see paintings of historical and cultural significance adorn the walls parallel to the main streets and the alleyways.
Notably, all districts have trees lining every street in comparison to the military districts which sports four foot high stone fences lining every street, providing cover in the event of hostilities. This architectural design, as well as more heavily reinforced buildings, has born civilian evacuation protocols that proritizes these districts for escape until further aid can be provided.

Forest Roads

The path within the woods of Clarain are covered in what appears to be wooden planks but are in reality the wood of the trees, having been manipulated into lengthening and sculpting into such a shape for the convenience of transport and trade through the forests.

Lost Locations

Hamlets

The use of Hamlets in Clarain has been attempted many times throughout the country’s history and the majority of those Hamlets have failed to stand the test of time with a majority being due to dangerous beasts and monsters.
Due to the precedent dangers of creating and populating Hamlets, the introduction of an expansion to the standard limit of buildings and populations of villages, as well as an increase in the standard of a village's guard force, significantly improved the life expectancy of the resident citizens within wallless settlements. This ended the use of hamlets in Clarain as a possible type of settlement.
The ruins of these Hamlets are spread out throughout the entirety of the country’s lands, and are a favoured type of location for the bases of operations, headquarters and otherwise, for criminal groups, be they bandits, smugglers, thieves, assassins, etc.
