Sha Rephart Island Night District

The night district is one of the newer additions to the island. It is laid out similarly to the Social District hexagons, but it is mirrored on the plane with a gap area between the center and outer buildings. You can see a vertically mirrored bridge on the left side of the picture. The district is so named because of the starfield projection and dark exterior lighting.

The projection is a more advanced design than previous ones, forming a dome instead of the hexagonal pyramids found over the other districts. This was done to reduce the amount of distortion seen in the sea of stars. Like the other projections, its darkens the view when looking in from the outside.

Ibril and Ontakh’in

These suyen siblings landed jobs as attendants of the Council Lord Tatyakori (pictured in the background). They quickly became the dragon’s favorites and are the most likely to be seen beside Tatyakori at major events wearing their adorable uniforms. Eh, don’t tell them I said that. Ibril is the one on the right with the slimmer build.

And a bonus; Ontakh’in is hanging out with a new prerart here. Prerarts may become an additional race in Sharpheart and Elehura. Prerarts already exist in Agwilika Rhe, but in that story they are closely related to agwil, agwilikans, and akelikans and bear a close resemblance. In these other stories, they’ll have a more reptilian look to make them distinct from the other races.

This all started because I had placed a suyen and prerart model near each other and realized a suyen could feasibly ride a prerart if they existed in the same universe. In Elehura, a giant type called a pri-prerart may eventually exist, big enough for a human to ride. That relates to a very old concept for a character that accompanies the protagonist of that story and gives them a ride across the desert to the holy mountain Elehura.

Obmunjalae Service Elevators

The service elevators provide alternate access to the upper floors apart from the two main elevator shafts nearer to the middle of the vessel. In the first picture above, you can see the service elevator shaft near the front of the oben.

So I decided to change the name of the vessel’s large open room, as a ‘hangar’ did not seem to be the right word for it. Its new name is a gwil word that is a contraction of ob-ben, a room of large open space, much like ob-mun is the gwil term for a flat plane of large open space.

Here are the service elevators on the fifth floor. Due to the shape of the vessel’s shell, the shaft from the oben to this floor could not continue directly to the sixth floor. Instead, there is a second short elevator shaft between the floors, with that shaft’s door pictured on the left. The door off to the left in the back of the hallway is for the shaft down. The golden piece attached to the back wall is a “bonk bar”, to prevent people from hitting their head on the curve of the vessel’s shell in that spot.

Here is the elevator on the sixth floor, with the elevator car at this location. The square in the wall on the right is an access panel to some elevator hardware.

Obmunjalae Drink Lounge

There was an area on the sixth floor of the Obmunjalae Voidplane vessel next to the elevators that was just a weird empty space with no real use yet. There was a dining hall on the fifth floor just below this space, and that got me the idea to put a smaller drink lounge to fill it in. This wound up leading to a whole bunch of tangential changes including adding actual hinges to doors, improving the design of the elevators, some updates to Lady Jalae’s model (pictured center frame), adding detail to some of the vessel’s connecting bits (one such being visible at the top of the image), and a whole thing about calculating the appropriate size of the water dispensers so I didn’t make something that would weigh 100 pounds and hurt whoever had to swap them out.

You can see that teas are a key drink served at the lounge, based on my own interest in the beverage.

The gwil name for this type of location is “sefbeko”, literally a drink-house. The dining hall below is called a “yumbeko”, an eat-house.

Interdimensional Coffee Break

“You made one of your little minions into a coffee machine?”
“No, no, it’s just the interchangeable tail that’s a coffee machine.
…
so, do you want a cup?”
“If it’s not a great cup of coffee, I am going to be extremely disappointed in my alternate self.”

A revision of a previous submission, this time with two alternate dimension Creative Spark Dragons participating. Elektra on the upper left is looking rather bemused at the situation, and Lurobak (the prerart in the lower left) is conversing with a microbold helping with the mugs. One robold is recovering from a wintry tongue accident.
