Water Gates (Patreon)

[30x30] - Gridded and Ungridded, Rain

Traversing the thin bridges spanning the low-tide reflecting pools, are the Water Gates. The entry into the Tidal Palace Proper. The last line of defense before the spiraling column stairs is a looming aqueous orb, ready to absorb and drown those not acclimated to aquatic lifestyle. Marksmen typically keep watch from the White Pearl Dynasty's pearlescent ziggurats rising from the tide, topped with classical oriental architecture.
