This thread is about the city, surroundings, the Maelstrom, etc.
The Skylinks
Little is known about these mysterious constructs, other than the fact that they siphon energy from the Maelstrom. They soar high into the sky, and at the top, celestially blue/red/pink/rainbow light flows into their depths to shoot out at intervals along the lengths of the towers, like water from a brook.
The Maelstrom
A nearly invisible, constantly in motion thing. No one knows what it is, and only know it's general location because of the dark light it emits that stream high in the air to the Skylinks. However, when it's 'surface' distorts and whirls, the watchmen sound the alarm. A raid from another realm encroaches on the city.
Gurrai
A massive sprawling city, split in thirds by three walls constructed of metals and odd bits of machinery. Behind the first wall, misshapen buildings constructed out of metals, carapaces of dead raiders, and mud awkwardly mesh together, while workers toil in nearby farms and crude factories. Beyond the second wall, the middle class is entertained by a man who preaches of the achievements of the Lords of Gurrai, while reminding them that only the Lords keep them and their families safe from the raiders before leaving to preach to the outer wallers. The last wall shields buildings clustered at the base of the Skylinks, constructed of exotic materials (gained from trades) that belong to the privileged of the city. Lastly, a glowingly white orb is attached to Skylink 1, and is only reachable by elevator. The orb is the home of the mythical Lords of Gurrai, the enigmatic founders and rulers of the city.
