Also the wood used looks like the one used for the Redguard well:
Oh I see what you mean by ogee arches. That's pretty interesting! I never knew the names of these different types, I just noticed the differences in flair/pointy-ness lol.

I'm happy to have learned something new from this discussion. 🙂Edited by spartaxoxo on August 23, 2026 7:28PM3 -

I didn't either! Yeah I've always found Khajiiti architecture to be almost uncomfortably pointy for my taste, so these arches in the bridge looked extremely tame by comparison.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've went down a rabbit hole because of this thread looking at the kinds of real world stuff that inspired Khajiit and Redguard styles. 😆 Here's a couple of cool pictures I found haha.
North Africa

I've always liked both. My favorite stuff is the Breton (the fancier high isle stuff), Khajiit, and Redguard lol. But yeah pointy is my main tell too. I'm not well versed in architecture but it's always a fun rabbit hole to go downEdited by spartaxoxo on August 23, 2026 7:45PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Well, crap. The weekend is over and I didn’t get to check out those bridges. I’ve been working on the Veterancy ranks but I only got to 80 or so. I hope four bridges will be enough because that’s how many I bought.

✭✭✭Maybe I am crazy, but I have always found Khajiit (particularly Elsweyr-marked items) and Redguard to have many, many aesthetic similarities. I very often mix furnishings from both races together when making market bazaars or skooma dens because of this. Sometimes even weave in a bit of Fargrave as well given brick color and gold filigree here and there, which also speaks to those races, from my eye.
I could accept that bridge as belonging to either.PS5 NA. GM of The PTK's - a free trading guild (CP 500+). Also a werewolf, bites are free when they're available. PSN = DragonRacer133
