    Is Tuliyollal's palace architecturally possible?

    You have these two huge wings jutting out from the palace with no support pillars. It's almost like a half arch, except with no second half to complete the loadbearing arch. The only possible explanation I can think of is that these wings are actually a hollow facade bolted onto a steel skeleton, but would that still be enough to hold up the weight?

    Cantilevers can be pretty amazing. From a search on Google: https://www.dezeen.com/2024/02/08/sk...vers-roundups/.

    It was built by the Giants of Old. With magic. And Aether. And a powerful sort of stone glue that is created from Turali Aloe, Mountain Flax, and Llama dung.

    Yes its possible.

    I wouldn't wonder about it because its a magic world but IRL you could easily do this with Pumice stones. They don't weigh much an you could have steel supports going through.

    Below we have a transcription of what Naoki Yoshi-P Yoshida said at PAX:
    - "For some players, like me, I kind of get sleepy because it's so repetitive."

    I bet is the golden llama dung that is making that possible.

    As for OP, that's a very interesting question. Hmm, I would say it depends on the base and how weight is distributed. Perhaps the underground mirrors the top.
