My interpretation of what I headcanon Ryas from Horizon: call of the mountain, to look like (Both sketch and with color). The game's highly underrated! Can we please see more of this? More of this lovely Shadow Carja specifically??👀🙏

Ryas is the capital of Tsayth. Not a lot doing in Ryas. It's really just the seat of government and the tax office, so they've got something central to always go back to. The city is mostly populated with illegitimate children who can't get a spot on a ship because they're bastards. The buildings, all domes built of white sandstone, are all along the coastline, no more than like a dozen buildings deep back into the desert. Most of the jobs in the city involve the ocean, from the obvious shipbuilding and repairs or farming the Shallows (mostly seaweed farms) to making textiles from sea grass and beach grass, and the extremely important tax agents. They keep the kingdom running.

The desal, or desalination plant, is for getting fresh water out of sea water. I haven't totally worked out how it functions since glass doesn't exist anymore, but idk, maybe they've figured out some rudimentary non-clear glass to make their domes from. I need to do more research on glass. Basically, they'd have huge domes with shallow pools of water in the bottom. As it heats up under the sun, the water evaporates to the top and drips down into a channel around the edge where it's collected as fresh water for the city. Thiras' job is to shovel the salt out of the domes once all the fresh water's been extracted.

That 'river' resulting in the Inlet is barely a creek. It comes from Llayad but it typically dries up long before it reaches the mouth. Llayad needs a seriously wet winter for it to flow. On the extremely rare occasions where it does, all non-essential jobs in Ryas are put on hold so they can collect as much of the fresh water as possible to use instead of painstakingly desalinating sea water.

The Chain of Pearls is where the pirates make berth, an atoll of tropical islands that was once a volcano, like, a couple million years ago. I stick it in under Tsayth, because most of the pirates of the world are Tsaythi, but really the islands themselves are a true amalgamation of all the nations, for anyone who doesn't want to conform with their homeland. Just a shame their entire system is funded by piracy. Oh well. It's a cool place =3
