## **Description**

A giant metropolis of about 30,000 people, surrounded by soaring stone walls with towers and parapets decorated with brass. The entire city is alive at all times of the day, every day of the week. Echoes of metal on metal sound throughout the streets, while networks of copper pipes tangle and twist overhead, releasing thick clouds of steam and gasses. The city runs like clockwork, quite literally, as the three concentric circular sectors of Saafedha rotate by the hour, minute, and second respectively. The exact reason for this is unknown to most, but some think it pertains to the nexus of ancient Leylines that intersect beneath Saafedha. Lastly, the skyspace is dominated by flying machines and ships that travel between towers and bridges of the city.

#### Seconds Ring
