A subterranean city carved into a vast, dark cave, with small houses lining a path leading to a grand temple.

The main characteristics of the city of Argia: Subterranean: The city is completely underground. The streets are not in the air, but immersed in the earth. Suffocating spaces: The rooms are filled with clay up to the ceiling. Stairs rest on other "negative" stairs. The roofs of the houses are crushed by layers of rock and earth. Absence of air and light: There is no sky, only looming earth. Total darkness reigns. Condition of the inhabitants: They live (or survive) by digging tunnels like worms or roots. Humidity wears down the bodies, leaving them weak. It is best to remain still and lying down. Invisibility from the surface: From above the earth, nothing of Argia can be seen. One must trust the voice of those who say: "It's down there." The places above appear deserted. Minimal traces of life: At night, putting your ear to the ground, you can sometimes hear a door slamming: a small sign of the city's existence. Symbolism: Argia represents the city of death and burial, suffocated by matter and devoid of air, light, and life. It is a city that exists only underground, more like a collective tomb than an inhabited place. Draw the city according to this description. See more
