 Like this imagined city, our underworld features a slum in close proximity to the seat of power. Our slum brims with color and life and is 10 times larger than the imperial but faded Komoid city -- their people and culture in decline. |

Pyramid City:
People who believe that early humans couldn’t possibly have built the ancient pyramids themselves might be right. But who taught them is the real mystery. No, it wasn’t aliens.
 The pyramids, like the raptor-like Komoids themselves, are sharp, jagged. Their shapes also reference natural stalagmites. |
 Komoid architecture is a mixture of pyramid styles. |
 The Komoid city and culture are in decline. |

Slums:
The densely packed but colorful slums of places like Rio inspired the Hadroid slums. The poor live in close proximity to the more “advanced” city of the Komoids.
 Colorful, densely packed human slums inspire the slave's huts. |
 Hadoids live in simple structures but use color to show their indomitable spirit. |
