Oriana is a city on the Northwestern tip of the Sallana Island (which includes other neighbouring cities such as Saltóvia and Antía close by). It is a coastal city surrounded by a creek to the east and the ocean to the west, as well as a huge mountain cape to it's north. It's lore is based on a prosperous trading city that became wealthy and aristocratic due to taking part and trading with it's partners in the Hanseatic League, making it very much architecturally different from the neighbouring cities in the island.
Oriana is not your typical minecraft city, it is a living monument, where i tried embracing various different styles of architecture at once, and somehow still managed it to be harmonious and cohesive. It is based on various cities in Portugal, Spain, Germany and Ukraine, embracing elements from each, (such as the spires, golden domes, along with the colour of portuguese cities and the organization of spanish ones) , and combining them with this phenomenal natural backdrop. It is for sure the most beautiful city I have built out of the many I made and I hope this subreddit likes it!
