Geology
Airship Hub Tairga is a steampunk-themed desert kingdom supported by solid metal foundations in order not to sink into the sand. Its structure is separated by different tiered districts. These districts are layers that circle around the town's center and spans outwards east from the top layer. The city operates on steam energy. Their source of water comes outside of the city's limits underground.
There are only two entry points to and from the kingdom located North East and South East, these are set so that the hostile creatures invading the town can be controlled. Because of this, a wall is erected around the town, creating a barrier to repel hostile creatures.
