Welcome to the next installment of my Skyrim Architecture series, where I scout the Skyrim world in search of the most beautiful structures and landmarks Bethesda's award-winning franchise has to offer.
The great city of Solitude is the capital of Skyrim. It's architecture is very unique. Perched on a stone arch hanging over a river that is right near the Sea of Ghosts, Solitude is the most beautiful city in the game in my opinion. (There will be a lot more pictures than text in this post. Without any real website for Skyrim architecture, it's hard to find descriptions of the buildings. That's why it would be good if I could get it for PC so I can actually take in-game pictures and give you guys a tour of these amazing structures.)
Solitude has a huge wall that hugs the city's outer reaches. The Blue Palace, a palace famous for it's unique dome shape, is the home of Elisif the Fair, the governor of Solitude.
This is the Blue Palace. On the inside, there are curved staircases that lead to the second floor, kitchens, large bedrooms, cellars, and the infamous Pelagius Wing, which is sealed due to "strange things happening."
That's it for this week's post on Skyrim architecture. There is more coming, and hopefully, I can sometime get a PC version for Skyrim so I can actually take pictures. (but I doubt it) Anyways there will be a lot more real life architecture coming this week. Stay tuned to The Art of Architecture.
