Tsuminar
The great metropolis of Tsuminar remains to be one of the greatest technological achievements of the world, but even some of Tsuminarian technology cannot even be explained by their top scientists and engineers. The city was founded originally around a great stone spire, the surrounding people feeling drawn to it and thus building their houses, their shops, and their lives around this monument. Thousands of feet it extended into the air, never wavering.
As time passed the area surrounding this spire became a true city to the surrounding areas, the spire drawing people out of their way to investigate the curious but massive object. As electrical achievements came into focus, engineers began to notice that their creations worked more strongly and sometimes only worked at this stone, and they soon recognized that is object held more in store than just height. Science overruled any religious notions about this stone, and people began to cut into it, only to find that under a foot of stone was a dark and polished metal that was virtually impenetrable.
This metal tower is now fully uncovered, standing in the center of the city inside the largest of the skyscrapers, the largest governmental building. The stone provides a power source for the entire city, making it truly a sleepless one. Expanding in every direction for miles from this point, the city is a sprawling metropolis mega-city. The highest forms of technology can be found here, but the city seems to have defined itself by layers, separating different levels of wealth and position based on the height a person was at in the city.
Ground level has become nearly impossible to traverse through safely; the slums of the city crawl across the unpaved or shattered landscape of the ground level. Most of the people on the upper levels would very much like to simply believe that this level doesn’t even exist, that it’s just a bad joke that people bring up once and a while. The second level is still not what people wish their city to be viewed as, but it escapes most of the drug and disease infested environment the ground level offers. Here most of the less fortunate middle or lower class reside, no home larger than a small but expensive apartment. Shops of less prestigious trade are found here, the less wealthy jobs like pawn shops or bakeries or convenient stores.
The third-most level is what most of the visitors travel to Tsuminar for. Here the wealthiest live, the governmental agencies reside, the great technical universities can be found, and the mass producing technology masterminds recline. The air is the cleanest at this highest point in the city, the buildings getting larger the closer they get to the power supply of Tsuminar. Flying metros can take people from one skyscraper to another, elevators without one set direction and huge pieces of suspended architecture. Many of these things can be found in the lower levels, but none to the perfection or mastermind as this top level of living.
