**A view from a passing ship of Great orange walls stood atop a jagged shore in defense of Simêum, the natural colors of the stone discolored in choppy waves and blotches, faded by the sun and covered in mineral deposits by storm surges and high waters. Square towers and parapets bolstered the defenses, and behind them stood buildings plastered in a variety of whites and yellows, rising high and higher as they sprouted deeper in the city. The craftsmanship bespoke practicality and need, not the luxury and waste of decoration and beauty, but it made a seaside attack feel like folly. A lighthouse stood on a jut of rocks guarding a busy harbor. --ar 2:3 --v 5** - Image #4 <@808677271370989588>
