Minthal City: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

Because Minthal is entirely underground, the city's layout is three-dimensional, with tunnels extending upward and downward in complex layers.

|History=Minthal Cities' origins date back to the earliest Minthari settlements. Over time, the city evolved from a series of primitive tunnels into a highly structured metropolis, shaped by centuries of excavation and refinement.

|History=Minthal Cities' origins date back to the earliest Minthari settlements. Over time, the city evolved from a series of primitive tunnels into a highly structured metropolis, shaped by centuries of excavation and refinement. Ancient Minthari first carved the city from existing natural caverns thought to be left behind by the Orasians, creating a sanctuary from surface dangers. During The Era of Expansion, massive tunnel networks were constructed, connecting Minthal to other settlements and forging routes for trade and mining. The discovery of geothermal energy and refined metallurgy allowed the Minthari to become one of the foremost underground civilizations in Adaris.

~~Key historical periods:~~

* The Founding of Minthal – Ancient Minthari first carved the city from existing natural caverns thought to be left behind by the Orasians, creating a sanctuary from surface dangers.

* The Era of Expansion ~~– Massive~~ tunnel networks were constructed, connecting Minthal to other settlements and forging routes for trade and mining.

* The Age of Industry – The discovery of geothermal energy and refined metallurgy allowed the Minthari to become one of the foremost underground civilizations in Adaris.

|Notable Locations=Minthal City is divided into multiple districts, each serving a specialized function within the city.

* [[File:Minthal_Grand_Tunnels.jpg|thumb|The Grand Tunnels]]The Grand Tunnels – Massive arterial tunnels that serve as the city's primary thoroughfares, linking major districts together. These passages are wide enough for entire caravans of goods and workers to travel through.

|Culture and Society=Minthal is a society built around mining and the acculmation of wealth. As a subterranean species, the Minthari have developed unique customs and a deep connection to their environment.

|Culture and Society=Minthal is a society built around mining and the acculmation of wealth. As a subterranean species, the Minthari have developed unique customs and a deep connection to their environment. Every Minthari contributes to the city's maintenance, with skilled artisans, miners, and engineers holding high social status. While Minthari prefer to remain underground, they maintain selective trade relations with surface dwellers.

|Economy=Minthal City thrives on mining, metallurgy, and subterranean resource management. The city exports high-quality iron, copper, silver, and rare minerals, sought after by weapon forgers and artisans across Adaris. Specialized mushroom farms, fungus-based livestock, and underground water filtration systems sustain the Minthari.

* Communal Work & Craftsmanship – Every Minthari contributes to the city's maintenance, with skilled artisans, miners, and engineers holding high social status.

* Isolationist Yet Pragmatic – While Minthari prefer to remain underground, they maintain selective trade relations with surface dwellers.

* Ore & Metal Trade – The city exports high-quality iron, copper, silver, and rare minerals, sought after by weapon forgers and artisans across Adaris.

* Geothermal Energy Use – Unlike many surface societies, Minthal relies on lava vents and steam energy, making it a self-sufficient power hub.

* Tunnel-Based Agriculture – Specialized mushroom farms, fungus-based livestock, and underground water filtration systems sustain the Minthari.
