LezardValeth.9453 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Figured 'lore' would be the best place to ask this. I was just wondering why the rata sum cities are designed as they are: giant cubes and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rognik.2579 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I don't think there's an explicit explanation for it. I believe it's just because the cube is a very pleasant geometric shape, with all the sides being the same shape and all the sides the same length.

Dawdler.8521 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Because the Black Citadel is merely round. No really, thats the only reason. Asurans built it as a cube and stood it on an edge so they can say to the Charr "look, we're better than you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Ansari.1604 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 There are a few places in the game where the asura technobabble implies that geometry has a role to play in their magic. Maybe a cube is the best option for levitation on that scale. Not that aesthetic taste couldn't play a role in it, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and something the asura would totally do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
