Doramraz

Doramraz

 * City Overview

Doramraz is a city divided into levels (see The Levels of Doramraz). The lowest level is the mining facilities that stretch deep underground. Above that is the freight steam trains' loading and unloading complex, which acts as a supra-support structure for the city so that it doesn't collapse into the ground. As you move up the levels the city gets cleaner, richer, and the level of corruption becomes more elegant. The upper part of the city consists of the tops of towering skyscrapers made of glass, with air ship docks, windmills for power, and things of that nature; it is above the cloud of smog that chokes the rest of the city. The city is surrounded on three sides by mountains, and the fourth side is a massive sea port.

One can think of Doramraz' surrounding land scape as a large "C" with the open end facing down, much like a lower case "n" the open side being the coast, the curvature of the letter being the mountain range. Its orientation in relation to the compass rose is standard. In other words, you could place the "n" on a compass and North would be "up", South would be "down", East would be "right" and West would be "left." You can see by this arrangement that the trains proceed into the city from the mountains in the North, the Ocean is to the South. Being to the South- in regards to the complex. The docks are over a large slurry wall. Remember that the assortment of businesses to the South in the Complex sit under the Central city. The center of the city though, is of course at the center not on any one of the edges. The businesses stretch back into the ground through a massive wall like support structure made of an enforced material.
