Urithiru
This page contains my lego fan art of the tower city of Urithiru from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. The build is based on official artwork by Ben McSweeney (a.k.a. Inkthinker) in the form of sketches from Oathbringer. Those In case you'd like to compare, Ben McSweeney's original art is available on Brandon Sanderson's official site. The artwork from Oathbringer is located here.
Spoilers: there are no story spoilers as such, but I still recommend finishing Words of Radiance before viewing this album.
You can view the files either through the gallery below or the individual image links just below the gallery. Below that, I have included a discussion of the builds and some of the customization involved, followed by copyright and use information. If you're on mobile, the menus are at the bottom of the page.

About this build
Unusually for my work, 100% of this build consists of unmodified official lego elements.
In order to transport the build to JordanCon in the back seat of my car, I built it to dissasemble into four chunks: the tower, the plateau, and the two mountain wings. Even so, it was a challenge to move it. The interior is mostly hollow, and I used a lattice of technic supports in order to keep it sturdy yet lightweight.
