Jump to: navigation, search

Blacknight is an architectural marvel in Oldeshire, distinguished by its towering spire that reaches a height of nearly 160 meters. Built by the skilled hands of Bluepolabear, also known as LunaLion, this landmark stands as a symbol of architectural brilliance and creativity. It sits directly north of Duncaroo.

The structure of Blacknight combines the strength and elegance of stone, glass, and concrete. At its base, four ornate flying buttresses provide support, blending functional design with aesthetic appeal. The walls of the tower are adorned with stained glass in shades of purple, black, and white, adding a touch of artistry and color to the structure.

One of the most striking features of Blacknight is its unique construction that sees the singular structure divide into five separate spires at 60 meters. Four of these spires are positioned at the corners and extend to a height of approximately 110 meters. The main tower, however, continues soaring upward, reaching the full 160-meter height, and is each capped with a distinctive black peak. The integration of glowing lights throughout the structure ensures that Blacknight is a sight to behold at night, with the tower illuminated from within, creating an impressive effect against the dark sky.

Despite its colossal size, much of Blacknight’s interior is hollow. Around 100 meters up, there is a small, secluded apartment within the tower. The identity of its inhabitant remains a mystery.

On the ground floor, visitors are invited to experience a visual spectacle. By looking up towards the peak of the tower, they are treated to a kaleidoscope of colors and intricate patterns, meticulously designed to captivate and impress.

Surrounding the tower, several gravesites are respectfully arranged in stone along the perimeter walkway, contributing to the solemn and reflective atmosphere of the site. A small path leads visitors to a nearby train station, providing connectivity to the Nysa Line and facilitating access to this architectural wonder.
