Architecture

Bone Buildings: The bone buildings rise from the jungle floor like towering monuments to their cultural heritage. Constructed from the fossilized remains of prehistoric creatures, these structures echo the grandeur of ancient Mesoamerican architecture. Rib bones form the foundations, while vertebrae and skulls adorn the walls, creating a striking juxtaposition of natural materials and intricate craftsmanship.

Spider Silk Buildings: In addition to their bone structures, they also utilize spider silk in their architecture, weaving intricate webs that span the gaps between trees and form the framework for their dwellings. Spider silk, harvested from the giant arachnoids that inhabit the jungle, is prized for its strength and versatility, serving as both a building material and a symbol of the their connection to the natural world.

Silk-Woven Arboretum: The arboretum is a breathtaking labyrinth of silk-woven pathways and suspended gardens, suspended high above the jungle floor. Giant arachnoids scuttle along the silk threads, tending to the lush vegetation that thrives within the canopy. Here, the giants cultivate rare plants and herbs for use in their rituals and ceremonies, harnessing the power of the jungle to augment their flesh magic and spiritual practices.

Silken Sanctuaries: Nestled within the dense foliage of the jungle, the silken sanctuaries serve as sacred spaces where they commune with the spirits of nature and pay homage to their arachnid queen. These ethereal structures are illuminated by shafts of dappled sunlight that filter through the canopy above, casting patterns of light and shadow on the silk-woven walls. Within these sanctuaries, the giants engage in meditation, prayer, and contemplation, seeking harmony with the natural world and the spirits that dwell within it.

Industry

The industrious whirr of progress resonates through the land, driven by the persistent exertions of its diverse inhabitants. While the stalwart Goatkin once exclusively operated the factories of old, recent advancements have seen other races adopting and initiating industries within their borders, ushering in a new era of innovation and prosperity.

At the forefront of this industrial revolution lies the Hearth of the Earth, a sprawling metrop

olis that serves as the epicenter of technological advancement. Here, towering factories churn ceaselessly, fueled by the ingenuity of the engineers and artisans who toil within their walls. Research and development facilities abound, where the brightest minds of the dynasty toil day and night to push the boundaries of science and invention.

But industry's reach extends far beyond the Hearth of the Earth, permeating even the most remote corners of the realm. In the Boneyard, among the massive bone and spider silk buildings, production facilities hum with activity, crafting armaments, tools, and ships with precision and skill. Along the edges of the necrotic swamps, where the air is thick with decay, research teams delve into the mysteries of the arcane, harnessing dark energies to fuel their experiments.

Production facilities work tirelessly to create goods imbued with otherworldly power in the ethereal glow of the Lunar Veil, shimmering strands of magic intertwined. The Outer Ring, a bustling hub of commerce and trade, is home to countless workshops and forges, where skilled artisans ply their trade, crafting goods of unparalleled quality.

With these advancements, the Verdant Dynasty met its demands and exceeded them, ushering in an era of unprecedented growth and prosperity. Goods flow freely across the land, shipped with speed and efficiency, while the citizens enjoy an increased standard of living thanks to the fruits of industry.

Yet, even as the realm thrives and prospers, some whisper of the dangers of progress unchecked. With great power comes great responsibility, and the dynasty must tread carefully lest their ambitions lead them to ruin. But for now, the wheels of industry continue to turn, driving the realm ever forward into a future ripe with possibility and promise.

The utilization of an undead labor force within the Verdant Dynasty represents a groundbreaking advancement in industrial automation that has revolutionized the realm's economy and propelled it to new heights of productivity and efficiency.

Forged through a unique partnership with the baderkerkhan, a race of necromantic practitioners known for their mastery over death and decay, the undead labor force is a priceless asset to the dynasty's industrial machine. Through intricate necromantic rituals and arcane engineering, the baderkerkhan have devised a method of reanimating the corpses of the deceased, imbuing them with a semblance of unlife and harnessing them to work the factories and workshops of the realm.

These undead laborers, known colloquially as "bone-workers," are perfectly obedient, performing their assigned tasks with unwavering efficiency and precision. Stripped of all traces of their former selves, they exist only to serve the needs of the dynasty, their minds and bodies bound by the arcane will of their masters.

Within the factories and production facilities of the realm, the bone-workers toil ceaselessly, their hulking forms moving with eerie grace as they operate machinery, assemble components, and perform other tasks vital to the industrial process. Their tireless efforts have allowed the dynasty to meet the ever-increasing demands of a burgeoning economy, ensuring that goods are produced quickly and consistently.

Spider Silk/Bone

The Verdant Dynasty has evolved down a unique path, mastering more "primal" elements of nature and coupling them with their ingenuity to deliver outstanding solutions to the ordeals that beset their society. As a people, they harness their capacity to alter bone to devise protective shielding and armaments. This osseous tissue is twice as resilient as steel and is virtually fireproof, given that skeletal material can withstand temperatures up to 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit. They coat their bodies and structure in this precious material, mass-breed animals, and utilize the dead to meet their demands. Nothing is wasted. All organic material is meticulously recycled to better the collective.

Blood and bodily fluids are appropriated to devise alchemical weaponry that discharges a boiling mist of a putrid concoction. The skin is dried and is used for books, wallpapers, and other such needs. Adipose is gathered for their vile alchemical weaponry and amassed as a fuel source. The dung is positioned in heaps and either shoveled off for the putrid creation to ward off attackers, or it can be employed to form methane. The Verdant Dynasty also had factories operated by the denizens for the mass production of Caster guns and their precious spider silk. This organic fiber is the strongest natural material, ranging from 5-10x stronger than high-grade steel, depending on the species of giant arachnid it is harvested from.

The Dynasty spins this thread to weave armor, building materials, nettings, medicinal supplies, and militaristic technologies. The meshing is incorporated into parachutes, stitching materials, dressings to stop bleeding, rope, clothing, and netting for war and civilian applications. They also form giant slings to launch weapons, troops, or goods across great distances. The webbings are also constructed for aquatic/naval purposes. They include laying nets to catch and stop vessels and the creation of suits that hold air to allow underwater travel. 

Additionally, the Verdant Dynasty tamed giant turtles to function as transportation for military and civilian use. They swim across the river and sea carrying troops and ferrying goods/people. On their backs are large caster cannons, of which there are two variants. One that expels arcane-based artillery and another that releases their searing alchemical fog of bodily liquids. On the front of their shells are hooks of bone that are launched to tether their crafts to naval threats to permit easier bordering. These behemoths are shielded by a layer of earth or bone, with a sweater of spider filigree layered over their exterior. Given their ability to transition on land and sea seamlessly (with some species allowing underwater applications.), they, along with spiders and other reptilian mounts, are the favored method of land-based transportation.

The Verdant Dynasty is a collection of races united under the Jorgenskull rule and guided by universal principles. This alliance was forged to battle off their world's harsh climate, the unforgiving jungle necessitating unity or facing potential extinction. All those part of this alliance contribute their resources to the whole. Each species maintains autonomy over its territories. They offer their firstborns as soldiers and 10% of their resources to the pot in exchange for protection and technology. In turn, it brought harmony to a once turbulent realm, broadcasting ideas and cultures as their differences slowly started to wane.
