Carcosan Terrains

I've yet to run a Carcosa campaign, though I know I will at some point. I've been gathering up these images of sites on earth that evoke the place for me, as I've imagined it.

Brutalist architecture for the various abandoned and occupied structures, with vast emptiness and wastelands for the untouched natural world. The occasional yurt is where the desperate Men of various colors eke by in their cloistered tribes. No cities, no agriculuture. 

Hunting and gathering in an unfriendly world not intended to be lived in. Societies without culture or real progress, harsh subsistence disrupted by irrational internecine and sectarian conflict, or the reckless invocation of destructive sorceries and the use of dangerous technological artifacts not comprehended by those wielding them. 

A world that is vast and quiet and mostly empty, the silence interrupted by the eruptions of unspeakable Elder Gods and the screams of laser-burning extinction.

 I'll probably use it for one-shots.

Images of the Lost World

Traditional African architecture probably isn't well represented in most players imaginations, at least compared to the more common euro-fantasy environment with castles, medieval villages, wizard towers, and so on. To help solve that problem here's an imgur album of visual references for Khirima and other locations in your World of the Lost games.
