Ionian village for "Awaken" cinematic

Bird-eye view of the village. The promo team needed elevation, a wall, and the sacred tree.

Since Ionians would usually not build walls, (they almost never had to fight off invaders) I explored versions where an Arbomancer quickly raises thorns and vines, then consolidates it with stones.

More wall explorations, this time going for a more home-made look.

Variations for terraced height.

Big mood explorations.

What if an Arbomancer made barbwire out of thorny vines? It would probably look like this.

The designs also changed quite a bit in the end, but the red tree and the wall remained similar.
