Velocistorm

Located north of Siniath at the edge of the salt plains, and near the ruins of the old capital city of iso , this is the main settlement of the The Science Guild. Close enough to Siniath to be convenient (Only about 1 1/2 hours by train) but far enough that any experiments gone awry won't harm the vast populace of the capital city. Most of the more dangerous experiments are taken out into the Salt Plains as they are uninhabitable by man and beast alike.   The town is mostly covered, as glass and steel roofs connect all the buildings making this effectively one large interior building. The roofs protect the major infrastructure as the town gets is vast uses of electricity through lightning rods protruding from the various buildings (labs and buildings of import have often have multiple rod sticking out.) Along the main thoroughfare's following the cities roof lines are large glass tubes which have an ever flowing controlled lightning. At various points along the tube are control rods that protrude from the glass creating arcing lightning connecting the main trunk and the buildings. This not only powers the buildings, it also creates a light that bathes the city in bright light even at the darkest points of night. Useful for the scientists and other inhabitants who don't stick to normal sleep cycles.   As most of the buildings are laboratories, and other sorts of scientific and magical studies buildings, there isn't many buildings that are designed for living, and those that are are usually for head scientists and wizards who's living conditions do not differ from the normal labs. For this reason there are hourly trains from Siniath to Velocistorm.
