Ravien had spent four hours contemplating the city layout. His mind was exhausted, but at last, useful ideas had begun to take shape. He sipped the last drop from his cup and glanced over the papers again. His eyes were fixed on the plans, but his mind was already wandering those streets.

His fortress would be placed at the heart of the city. The wide open spaces around it were entirely dedicated to military purposes: monster creation, troop training, emergency preparations... Everything would be managed from a central point, and roads would extend from there to the rest of the city like veins — just like a heart nourishing the body.
The large lands behind the fortress were designated for agriculture and storage. The city would be sustained from this zone, ensuring quick access to essential resources in times of need.
