The combined authorities of the **City of Noxburgh** and the **Residential Town of Bibbinghaben**, collectively and commonly referred to simply as **Noxburgh**, administrate a large peninsula on the southern shore of the Big Water, at the head of the River Ember. The warehouses and skyscrapers of the industrial and financial sectors in the City of Noxburgh tower skywards, nestled among the rocky cliffs that are home to the Noxburgh AeroDock. This is a stark contrast to Bibbinghaben, the residential town on the west bank of the river, where small cottages and townhouses line the twisting streets. Airships and balloons cloud the skies and shipping lanes above the city, while the NDTA Noxburgh Circle elevated railway winds through the upper levels.

`As of February 2021, the district is in a relatively early stage of development, with only a few key buildings and infrastructure plans in place.`

## History

Initial plans for the City of Noxburgh were drawn up in November 2020. After his short hiatus from the server, MCParradox returned to find several towns had been founded and were in active development. Inspired by an airship SoulZer0 was building in Deanmark, a large airship he built sometime around 2013 for rshuttle1337's YouTube channel, and the many airships used for transportation around his old server, **The Voxel Box**, he decided that founding a steampunk inspired city with plenty of airship docks would be a fun project. He sailed the waters of the Big Water to scout for a location, eventually stumbling across the spectacular rocky peninsula just south of Edale, and immediately set about zoning the land for future development. A small mining outpost, the Embercairn Mines, was set up along the banks of the River Ember in late November. A generous donation of construction materials from Invader4679 helped kickstart development on the city.

On December 6th 2020, construction concluded on the first building in the district, the **Bibbinghaben Town Hall**. Its distinctive clock tower looks out across Noxburgh Bay to the north, and Bibbinghaben's developing town square to the south. A small tree farm was set up in the bay, and the Mayor's residence was constructed just next door to the town hall. In order to bring in both visitors and prospective builders to the town, the first platforms of the innovative Noxburgh North Junction metro station were laid out on the other bank of the river, and a large-span bridge erected to connect the two diverging districts. The Serena Line extension from Edale was opened to the public on January 24th 2021, and the mainline platforms of the station were enclosed just a few days later.

## Trivia

* The land that would become home to Noxburgh was visited by SoulZer0 a few months prior to the town's founding; he carved a small cave into the base of Spire Rock.
