Kyovashad has many districts, with each one set dressed in unique culture kits. The interactives team has done a fantastic job of really driving home that narrative with their culture pass.
When you happen upon this area, we want you to draw similarities with slum-type encampments where densely packed living quarters are in abundance. Some clinging to the town walls overlooking the glacial flow beneath. In the video we can see a large portion of the southern end of Kyovashad, which contains the simplest of shelters. As with most dwellings in Sanctuary these buildings are very much function over form. Making use of the wood from the many forests in the region, structures here are clad with natural pine boards and birch shingles. Upon entering the town, you see the architecture typical throughout Fractured Peaks. Upon reaching the gates you are confronted with steep stone, perimeter walls and a deep cavernous moat that wards off any unwelcoming visitors. Doing this hints to you that something greater lies ahead.
We believe it appropriate to provide a gradual buildup of smaller defense structures upon approach to the settlement. This is a militaristic settlement, so it is important that we give it a heavily defended presence straight off the bat. However, we still need to convey that this is a place of refuge afforded to those who reside within its boundaries. Our goal with Kyovashad is to really drive home the idea that this medieval settlement feels oppressive, frigid, and harsh.
