Ring City

## Architecture

Ring City greets the Avalonian surface with an incredibly space-efficient 'middle class' section that holds the majority of the population. This zone serves as the foundation for the pylons that hold the high class' residence above the clouds. Excluded from the space-efficient ideology plaguing the middle class, the more wealthy structures are products of aesthetic and feature organic lines and supports. In addition to the 'middle class', the surface of the Avalon supports a rail system that supports the constantly-rotating Daystar Fleetyards.

#### Layout

While the city is split in sections, it also has of 100 unique provinces that run their own micro governments. much of the southern pole of the planet, houses industrial offices, and workers, as well as being where imports and exports primarily leave. The western and eastern side support most of the local agricultural, however most is still imported from Ferona. The Northern provinces house the Limerick Building, along with many secure warehouses, with the central province housing the upper middle class living spaces, and more parks than any other province in the system.
