Overview of Silent Rise
Hello everyone,
This is a city I've been working on for just about a year now, and have finally gotten it fully built out to where I want it. My goal was to try to create a very realistic metro area that slowly morphs from city to suburbs to farmland in a mountainous terrain around a basin of a lake about the size of a Great Lake.
This is the stitched-together Region View. You can see downtown Silent Rise resting on a bay of Misty Lake, under the shadow of Mount Silent.
The area around Misty Lake has a lot of history -- old castles litter the region, relics from the Middle Ages. One of the largest of these, Maiden Keep, had a town, and eventually a city built around it during the Renaissance, much of which is still preserved as the older district of Silent Rise.
Eventually it became a manufacturing hub, and then a financial center, spreading over the region, its suburbs consuming the outlying towns. Its citizens primarily travel via an extensive metro system, known as the 'Lift' due to its frequent elevated portions.
For other region views, here's the transport view:
And the traffic view to get an idea of the layout:
I'm working on a google maps-style road map of the region as well (mapmaking's a bit of a hobby).
In future updates we'll take a look at the Lift, the region's castles and history, and different neighborhoods and towns. Stay tuned! In the meantime, here's two shots of the older and newer parts of Silent Rise.
