tilingien

Tilingen is a fictional city in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. It is situated at the edge of a primeval forest, known as the Haunted Forest, and is famous for its unique architecture. The city is constructed from interlocking wooden tiles, resulting in a shifting and ever-changing landscape that presents a different appearance to visitors.

This architectural technique allows the city's structure to alter over time, with tiles lifting to admit new streets or constructing additional buildings. Tilingen's tiles are also self-healing and capable of repairing themselves after experiencing damage. As a result, the city presents a nearly constant appearance of rebirth and renewal.

Tilingen is inhabited by gnomes, a communal people with a deep understanding of the city's architecture and technology. Gnomes are continually engaged in improving their unique city, adding new structures and implementing various innovations to the city's dynamic infrastructure. Their inhabitants interact closely with the city's structure, taking an active role in shaping and forming its overall aesthetic and layout.

Game mechanics surrounding Tilingen are largely driven by its dynamic physical nature. Events and storylines depend on the fluid, ever-shifting landscape of the city. They're earned by participating in the construction process, enabling characters to express themselves as city planners as well as after inhabitants of the primeval forests.
