…Far from the light of Wormwood…

The Floating City

This technological masterwork is known as New Mooring. It is a city that is as large as an island, dwarfing many of the cities on the mainland. Like all other such places it has its slums and bazaars as well as its mansions and garish plazas. It has two economies, one is the internal exchange of goods and services amongst the locals, the other is the external elements that are in constant orbit of this strange place. The city has its own military of sorts, made up of a skeleton crew of city guards backed by a rag-tag militia of concerned citizens. Fire is avoided through the efforts of the militia, which double as fire teams, as well the treated wood and plastered adobe that are the fire resistant building materials in the city. The city’s government consists of a monarch who is elected by a democratic counsel. There are also Guilds aplenty and work is usually easy to come by, both legal and illegal. To the outside world New Mooring is a haven for corsairs, smugglers, and outlaws. The locals feel much the same, but with an eye for profit. In addition to pirates and thieves the city is a hub for inventors and freethinkers, for there are no sanctions against magic or tinkering. It is a place where anything can be discovered or bought. It is the mote in the eye of the world and most of the world’s adventures and conspiracies lead to or originate from this place.
