For March’s free symbols Mike Schley has drawn two new, beautiful buildings for his Isometric Cities style (of Symbol Set 6). A fantasy city worthy of its name does need a Wizard’s Tower of course, and the style was lacking in this regard. The second symbol is a big corn exchange, that can also be used as a guild house or similar building for the mercantile quarter of the city. Both are shown in four different views.
