Supplementary 3 - Prototype King's Landing Map

Here's a rough estimation of how my schematics for a rebuilt King's Landing, Stokeworth.

Note that this map is not drawn for scale, nor have i included any of the city gates, other than the River Gate. Needless to say, there is will be more than 7 for this city. i have also not included any of the roads for outside the city, as while the city will be connected with all the major roads, there will also be tons of smaller roads that leads to the city gates.

the city Walls are also not finalized, neither in Design or layout. i have drawn them the way the are, to emphasize the scale which we will be working on. As for the design, we will be using a model more along the lines of the walls ive drawn for the walls of the current city facing the blackwater. The walls will be a set of double walls, with a very deep and wide moat in between them. the outer walls when finished will be roughly 30 meters tall/100 feet, with the internal walls being quite a bit taller. the moat will stretch for 30 feet between each wall.

the large great grey circles will be the water reservoirs of the city. Each will have a large pipe(probably of bronze) that will channel water from lakes to the city, using the power of gravity. Each reservoir will also be used to cleanse said lake water to make sure its fit to be consumed by humans. from each reservoir we will install pipes that will flow under the city gates and under each house, to allow each building to pump water from these pipes using a simple pump(the design for this pump is also added in this letter.). the scaling of the drawing is roughly as large as i have in mind.

underneath the water pipes we will have the sever pipes. like the water pipes, they will use water from the reservoirs, and they will also go under every house. unlike the water pipes, the purpose is to allow each household to simply dump their shit and piss and cleaning water into a chute in each apartment, where the flowing water will carry it away. the sever pipes will then carry the filth, far, far away to a bay in the north of blackwater bay.

each of the red blocks denominates an example of the backbone of the new city. the apartment complex. Essentially a large, rectangular building that stacks several spaces of rooms where a family can comfortably live, on top of each other, all to maximze how many people can live on one spot. the building will keep warm in winter through a hypocaust, a valyrian building technique to pump warm air through hollow walls. we will be substituting hot air from logs, to hot air and smoke from coal, but the prinicple is the same. as i noted earlier, neither these buildings or roads, are drawn with scale in mind, merely to illustrate the full scope of the inner parts of the city, as well as to highlight the grid systems this city will be built around. many of the buildings illistrated in red, will be things such as universities, factories(which is what will replace the smithies as i have detailed in the orders for steel working), shops, baths, saloons, pubs, and so on and so on.

However, each of the common buildings will be using the same space of building area as the Apartment complexes, if not the internal design. this is in order to make sure the grid system will be enforced to the maximum of its potential. shops will thusly be located within a larger complex for example, given how few shops would cover the same space as an apartment building. Again, these buildings will not share the internal design of the apartment buildings given how their goal is to house shops, not to maximize living space. name for these shops to be determined later.

The south part of the city on the other side of the blackwater, is also completely hypotetical at the moment, and is simply there is illustrate the scale of the internal parts of the city. the only structure i plan to actually keep for this draft is a fortress on the northern tip along the mouth of the blackwater, but that is for another time.

The great white rectangle will be known as the Black Yard. it will be an internal smaller fortress inside the city, to serve as the headquarters of the army. drawn to scale.

the smaller rectangle will be known as the Tower, other than knowing how large a space it will take, it is not important to discuss at the current date. dawn to scale.

The black circle where the Sept of remembrance currently stands will be a construct know as the dragon pit. the stable in which we will house our dragons. it will be an amphiteather like construct with an open ceiling and a lot of stables to house more unruly dragons. dragons who are non agressive and can be trusted not to attack livestock or men will be allowed open leave of the stables. dragons who cannot, will be kept here with steel chains and behind thick steel doors. Drawn to scale.

The multicoloured star will be the sept of Westeros, the largest religious building in the world. Eventually the Faith shall relocate to this building, and it will serve as the center of our religion. Drawn to scale.

The Brown rectangle to the north of the city will be the Sport Grounds of the Capital. at the moment, that will mean that it will serve as the center for jousting and tourneys. I have other more grandiose plans for the Area, which will involve all of westeros eventually, but that is a matter not relevant for the moment. Drawn for scale.

the Red Fortress is covered in its own seperate papers and explanation, also included in this letter. Drawn to scale

finally, regarding the city, i need to emphazise that this merely the inner part of the city. the city will gron beyond its new set of walls eventually, and prefferably, the city will continue to use the grid system for the next part of the city.

as i have no doubt you are worried about coin to pay for all of this, i shall finish on the reasuring note that unlike my other projects, this one will not have to be finished in all haste. Other than The red Fortress and the reservoirs, do not begin to start work on anything else. we will discuss the rest of the city works when i return to the capital. for the the moment, focus on the Red Fortress, laying water pipes, and above everything else, the Steam Hammers. i expect some Results on those when i return home.

Your King and Friend, Aenys Targaryen.
