Castle del Monte

Castle del Monte (Castle of the Mount) is located in the region of Apulia, in the municipality of Andria, Italy. Built in the 1240s as a hunting lodge for Emperor Frederick II and later used as his seat of power. The castle’s location has symbolic significance, and the octagonal-shaped building is laid out in mathematical and astronomical precision. It has octagonal towers at each angle. The fortress has two floors constructed of limestone, white marble, and coral breccia. Grand staircases connect the levels in the towers, and each floor has eight interconnected chambers. The rooms were once lavish and decorated with polychrome marble, mosaics, paintings, and tapestries. The castle hasn’t undergone any significant structural alterations, but in the 18th century, much of the deteriorated interior marble and mosaics were removed or stolen. The fortress was used as a prison and as a refuge during a plague. The castle has elements of the Islamic Orient, North European Cistercian Gothic, and classical antiquity. It is considered to be an interesting example of medieval military architecture. The interiors boast Eastern influences, like the hydraulic installation used for bathing according to Arabic customs and a plumbing system that uses rainwater for the bathrooms. Castle del Monte was acquired by the Italian State in 1876 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Castle del Monte is open to the public.

Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is an abandoned 15th century citadel believed to have been built by the Incas. The estate is located 2,430 meters above sea level in the middle of a tropical forest atop the Andes Mountains in Peru. Many archaeologists theorize that it was built for Inca emperor Pachacuti around 1450, but abandoned a century later during the Spanish Conquest. Machu Picchu was known to the local people, but remained a secret to the outside world until brought to the forefront by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911. The structures were built in the Inca style, with polished dry walls; the stones cut to fit without mortar. There are three main structures: The Temple of the Sun, Intihuatana, and the Room of the Three Windows. The site stretches over 5 miles and features more than 3,000 stone steps linking the many levels with terraces and ramps. There’s also an irrigation system, and a sculpted granite rock believed to have functioned as a type of solar clock or calendar. The majority of buildings have been reconstructed for tourists, as Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2007, Machu Picchu became one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.  It is the most visited site in Peru and the most famous ruin in South America.

@ cmndramyshepard here are two more that I made.

Vekhans are a mostly herbivorous species (only mostly, because they do occasionally eat animals unintentionally) and one of the few to make it to Citadel level. Though not meat eaters, they are very territorial and aggressive. It is common to see a Vekhan with injuries from fighting, as it is their preferred method of settling personal arguments. Due to the swampy nature of their homeworld, Velkhans developed an oily fur that keeps their bodies warm and dry, but isn't appreciated by other species. They view it as slimy and gross, with a bit of an odor. One of the mother interesting things about their fur is it's ability to change color based on emotion and mating season. Males have a large mane down their back and it will shimmer with a gorgeous array of blues and greens when they see a female that they wish to impress. When fighting, they prefer to use their natural speed to rush their opponents and powerful, short-range weapons like shotguns and heavy pistols to defeat them. Inspired by this www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrfOYh… and how much of a 400+ lb monster this is

Ignotus 'Bloodbeard' Kilister was once considered a normal human. He didn't really excel at any of his school subjects other than science, particularly chemistry and xenobiology, and joined the Alliance Military when he graduated. He served with honors, and when his biotic abilities manifested, he was chosen for special forces. He was fitted with an L2 implant that greatly enhanced and stabilized his powers, but started his mental degradation. He was devistated by the horrors he experienced fighting Batarian slavers and pirates, and started to question how humanity could alley itself with any other aliens. At the end of his tour, he was approached by Cerberus and was very attracted to their 'Humanity First' motto. They trained him as an assassin and insurrectionist charging him with destabilizing alien governments and businesses. As the L2 continued to twist his mind, he began to fall deeper over the edge. Cerberus itself disavowed him when he started eating his targets. He's now a freelance killer, taking only targets against aliens and with the caveat that he gets to eat the brain and heart if his target.
