Special places in Domeris
Claws of Domeris
When Domeris was first discovered, it was a large area that could serve a big population. Before people could even begin to settle in some discovered that the ground below contained precious stones and usable minerals. While making their way through the earth in search for those materials, the first miners then had to make a second discovery: There were tunnels beneath their very feet, that stretched on for miles and miles. It was decided that the earth, that was hollow beaneath, shall be removed so that no one would built their property there, and let it instead be used for mining. Even after centuries, these rifts in the earth, also called "Claws of Domeris", are used and remain the factor that provides for Domeris' short-cutted wealth. Nowadays there are those who life in these rifts due to their inability to pay to live on the higher levels of the mostly rocky terrain.
However, Domeris isn't just seperated into two parts of high and low. It has many grey areas as the province built itself up, both in structure and industry. Although those with more power reside above all others, literally and methaphorically.
As already mentioned, only the poorest and forgotten of the Domeris population reside here. If there is a place where someone can go in hopes of not being found, then the Claws of Domeris is the perfect place for you (except someone from the residents will get paid to tell on you).
The housings are built on top of each other, near bridges and giant metal pipes that run along the Underground, or the tents are close to one another to create some sort of warmth. It's a labyrinth of lost souls, garbage and the absence of comfort and full amount of natural light that also gets blocked by the streets and bridges above, as well as the pipes that run along the system of Domeris. The pipe system is the reason Domeris isn't a suffocating province, which is something not every newcomer knows about.
Clenton Market
The bustling heart of all Domeris. Here, almost anything can be found. From freshly brewed hot dishes and artillery to pubs, clubs and illegally shipped inventions. Day to day, deals are struck here with all sorts of people. The Clenton Market could be despribed as a melting point of all inhabitants of Domeris - both from the Over- and Underground. There are many other places like these where goods are sold at mocking prices or where gangs meet up to show themselves. Fortune tellers, beggars and thieves thrive here, but that makes the Clenton Market the more of a dangerous place. Everything can and mostly is to buy here, even information, if you pay the right price to the right person.
It has its own parts for individual use. There is a section for pubs, stand cafes and special meeting spots, a section for food in general, a section for tools for either crafting or inventing, etc. . Each sections most often have their own environment. Some more dirty and run down than others the further you get into it. Just remember not to get lost in Celnton Market regarding its place and deals.
