The Generalife Palace in the Alhambra (Work-in-Progress)
🕑 Added 2022-10-11 08:10:20 +0000 UTCSo, the Alhambra is a fortress in Andalusia, Spain with a number of palaces inside its walls. The largest of those palaces is the Generalife, which is what I've been drawing a map of. I've been to this place and it is absolutely epic.
There's a staircase called the water stair, which has water flowing down channels in the railings. There are also three fountains in the middle of the staircase, which might seem unusual until you realize that there are fountains everywhere. Like, there are just fountains right next to other fountains. These people were very serious about proper hydration.
There's also the Sultana's Garden, the Canal Garden, and the terraced High Gardens. It's a big map with a lot of detail and it's going to be a lot of work, but I think it'll be worth the effort.
After this, I owe you a spelljammer. And then, I'll be drawing two places in India. First, Akshardham Temple in New Delhi, then the island fortress of Murud-Janjira, which won last month's Cartographic Congress. Sound good? I hope so. All right, back to work.

I was actually thinking this would be good for something like that! You could definitely say this place is very water-themed.

The word “water” came up twice…I’m thinking of a palace on the elemental plane of water?
