Competition: [Arcona] Selen Development Project Phase 5: Locale

Finished
[Arcona] Selen Development Project Phase 5: Locale

Landmarks and Parks

Time to give our hometown of Estle City some life and character. Where do people go to spend their free time on a sunny day? What kind of historical landmarks can be found? Statues, plaques, memorials? Arcona has seen wars aplenty in our time here, there's bound to be marks of the past.

The goal of this competition is to write up locales including parks, landmarks, statues, memorials, anywhere that the public may gather. Whether they be man-made or natural. Be descriptive, be verbose.

You are allowed to submit more than one venue (and we encourage it!) for consideration, though you’ll only be able to place once, of course.

Grading will be determined by the most interesting, well thought out, and descriptive writing.

Note, this is not a fiction, this isn’t about telling a story, it's about what you see walking up to, and inside, of the locale.

Submissions may be in pdf or .doc form, or textbox submission. Wiki coding is not required, nor will it influence the scoring.

#### Estle City Welded Garden

A garden within a garden, the Estle City Welded Garden receives its name from the various structures that ~~litter~~ decorate the lawns. Twisted and fused pieces of metal provide a visual landscape of trees, soldiers, people, Krayt dragons, and abstract shapes that leave you guessing. Brightly colored floral surround the perimeter and fill in various plots dictated by an aspiring yet still learning landscaper. These plants are of a hardy and slow growing variety, ones that require minimum care. Benches and paths provide access for the public. It is often used for school age field trips to embrace creativity and natural wonder.

Every year, the Welded Gardens hosts the Estle City Welding Conpetition, which invites pro welders from all over Selen to tests their skills and art against each other. The fine products composed and the intense technique to do so draws out the young and the old, apprentice and retired welders, families, etc. Even the higher class come up from their underwater manor to witness the art specimens made and ready to drop large sums of money, as well as a contract, to any piece/welder who catches their eye.

Estle City's Welded Garden is located on the outskirts of the industrial sector, providing some curb appeal for the region. However, it was only recently, between all of the events affecting the area, that the lush gardens have started new growth from the fires. The community has now taken to replanting to aid the recovery of the small park and reunite from the pain and weariness they've all have felt in these passing times.

The Garden of Heroes is grounded with the white stone that holds Estle City together. It rests on the edge of the Huascar Ring. The wall on its rim is built halfway to reveal the beautiful countryside surrounding Estle City. On the opposite side of the edge, the natural stone of the mountain peaks through the slabs and stands as a beautifully raw background for the white marble statues of Arconae heroes from the past and present. Between each statue rests a hedge of roses. They stand, looking towards the landscape as if still protecting the city from any impending threats.

Alley outside of Sugar's

It's an Alley, it has a dumpster. Sometimes that dumpster is on fire, sometimes it's not.
