Karosgrad, the City of Crows

It’s about that time of year! With the map release upon us shortly, the builders and leadership of Haense are very excited to introduce to the server the city of Karosgrad! Meaning “City of Crows”, this city caters to everything that Haense stands for as a nation. It takes inspiration from Russian architecture, displaying the culture of Haense visually.

The City Square of Karosgrad, featuring the Cathedral and Palace

 


 

The city is set in a spruce pine forest, with snowy trees and hills dotting it’s corners. The city nicely compliments the landscape it’s built on, to feel like a naturally built city rather than one pasted into the world.

Karosgrad is a lake port city, built to help accommodate naval professions and lifestyles. It’s docks are much larger and feasible to utilize than the docks of New Reza ever were!

The Cathedral of Saint Henrik is perhaps the most ambitious place of worship ever constructed in Haense! Boasting beautiful onion domes and ample worship room, it combines practicality and vanity. The Cathedral is named after Saint Henrik Bihar, one of various Haeseni notables ever canonised by the church.

Karosgrad is built to cater to multiple different types of RPers. After seeing resounding success in Arcas, the city is built with a new building for the National Geographical Society! It has much more room this time around to put on full display history and artifacts from all corners of the server!

Even the outside of the NGS building has room to put notable people on display!

The city is built with defense in mind, with proud red walls mounted with artillery weaponry, and gates throughout the city to increase security in times of strife. The city even utilizes the surrounding landscape to keep those who should do us harm out!

I would like to personally thank our amazing team of builders, who dedicated countless hours to getting the build finished and polished upon the previously agreed upon due date. It was a pleasure to work with you all…. Despite my own ineptitude when it comes to building...

Here is our portrait of most of our involved builders (excluding Gobbo, Nathan, and Language), within the city square, except Juliana, who contributed nothing

I’m excited to roleplay in the new city next map and I hope that others are as well. I’m glad that I had the pleasure to work on a few builds for the new city, and had a bunch of fun along the way.

My only complaint is that I can’t run around your square stealing Hogo’s tax slips till 8.0, jokes aside nice job guys!

Imagine the nickname for Markev was ‘The Red City’ due to the palace being red along with some parts. Two maps later we have a whole city of red, this is the true red city.
