The Walls of High Tnem-Fragg
Tnem-Fragg is the capital of Imperial Nalydya. It is a large sprawling city with short buildings that stretches over an area of almost 350,000 square kilometers, and is surrounded by one hundred meter tall walls constructed out of ice (mostly) with limited support from other materials.
Architecturally, Tnem-Fragg is the model Nalydian city. Buildings crafted from ice sit upon stone foundations that line wide thoroughfares and boulevards; most of the buildings are separated by open plazas that allow for wind and snow and vast torrents of traffic to pass through unimpeded. The city sprawls because it is designed to avoid road congestion, tightly packed buildings, and tall skyscrapers. |
Tnem-Fragg serves as the meeting place for the Hunters and the birthplace of the Great House of Natynozh, the historical rivals of the Yamsai. Deep within the walls of the city (and behind its own walls) is the Palatial Villa, a large structure where the Hunters meet to discuss policy and direct the nation. While many Hunters live within the Villa, others do not.
