"Sun Sees You." -Traditional Mokole Greeting | ||||||||||||||||||||
This vast community covers a large expanse of land and looks like something out of Fallout or Mad Max, except for the shiny state of the art solar panels that cover every building. The most prominent is the two story Main House. A second, smaller Guest House sits a few hundred yards away, and is closer to the Main Gate. At the end of a short stone pathway, between the Main and Guest Houses, sits a covered wooden swing amid a garden area (+view swing). Closest to the Main Gate is a long rectangular structure that server as a Community Shelter. Like most of the structures in the area they have been built from recycled, scavenged materials, and designed to withstand the desert climate.
At the center of the cleared area is a large lean-to next to a firepit area. It could easily allow shelter from the sun for most large animals. This area has a large dragon shaped firepit at its center where a beautiful set of chimes seems to always carry, very softly, a musical tone throughout the area radiating a sense of calm and peace (+view firepit / +view chimes). A stone smithy stands a few hundred yards away on the other side of the firepit, though no smoke comes from it, and an array of mirrors surround it making that area blindingly bright during the day. The inhabitants appear to be adept at surviving in this part of the desert (see +view people). They've dug out a well out in back of the houses, and planted rows of vegetables. The well is capped with a hand-pump and the vegetables are covered over by an umbrella of cloth tarps to keep the sun from burning the seedlings during the harshest part of the day and keep them from freezing at night. There is also a surprising number of wildlife and lizards once you're away from the homes. Gila Monsters being the majority.
