This could be neighborhood in a lashunta city - Qabarat? Mahyat? Son? I like the combination of waterways with covered walkways against the omnipresent rain.

RomulusCornflakesHere's something I read out at a local writer's group. It's narrative, but still hints at worldbuilding, and honestly I think narrative and drama are the best ways to get someone to like your world.

Dear Sister. Thank you for your letter. I hope my reply reaches you well. At the time of writing, we are about to embark on our trade expedition to our fair sister city of Emeraldsmoke, there to trade the blood wine as discussed. The agreement in return is for a single canister of what we in the business call kvrna-krurot; that is, “black death”, a very dangerous poison, suitable for application on spearheads and arrowheads and the like to guarantee a quick kill whilst hunting. I hope our sisters in Emeraldsmoke are impressed by our recipe we have spent so long refining. I understand Sister Krmida is especially keen to hear their response. The recipe was originally hers after all. Our expedition is smaller than usual, but please don’t fret. I’ve done this many times with both smaller and larger caravans, and I’ve been on my own a few times as well. I will keep everybody safe on the road. Honestly, I thought I’d put the new girls through their paces, rather than let them go with a larger, safer caravan, for their first time. Me and Sister Prmenta will be the senior Trademasters for this expedition. We will try to get regular messages to you as we make stops, and after we arrive at Emeraldsmoke, but please, if you don’t hear from us, just assume it is a problem with the messenger worms. Be patient. Regarding our good friend Prmenta, she still talks wistfully about the absent sunlight, as if she were actually there when it disappeared. She still desires the return of the Sun. I can sympathize with her desire, but I don’t believe I can ever share it. From my point of view, the Sun is gone permanently. The world has ended, and there is now no possibility of a return to the world that was. We are living (or lingering) in the after-days of our world. It is not even the twilight of our world - that twilight has come and gone with the last sunset, which was over a thousand years ago (or so we estimate). Anyway, I digress. On to happier things. I am pleased to hear that Sister Ankuria has expressed an interest in joining our household. I am happy to reply that she would be very welcome. I believe she would be a valuable addition to our coven, and I am excited to formally initiate her when I have returned. ------ Hail Father, Kreda.
Rahulkumar PanwarIn Vehl's Reach, the city has two decks.
Skyside: marble towers, golden light, cool filtered air.
Shadowside: turbines, heat haze, orange twilight that never ends.
Same city. Different worlds. One set of rules that applies to only one of them.
What's the divide in YOUR world that shapes everything?

RuckerworksI wonder how many dungeon masters take inspiration for their D&D adventures by blending in aspects from the real world around them? I do all the time.

I sometimes feel embarrassed by this hobby. I’m a grown man playing make believe, and I don’t have the excuse of saying it’s for a book or game. But occasionally I gain useful skills through the course of my conworlding. Over the weekend I ported all my Obsidian notes for the Lonely Galaxy to DokuWiki. Part of that process involved extracting the hashtags from each markdown file and transforming them into a format that the DokuWiki tag plugin could parse. This involved some Python regex nonsense. Now I’m at work, and lo and behold, I’m encountering a nearly identical problem, porting an Obsidian vault to another format, with tag extraction being one of the steps. So I revisited the script I wrote for the LG wiki to see how I did it. It’s one function with a single return statement. python def get_tags(some_string): return re.findall(r"#\w+",some_string) So as shy as I am about this project, it is proving useful.
