Vapor

[pinki3pon3]

The city of Vapor, aptly renamed by its egotistical mayor for its exceptional developments in steam technology. It is renowned for its scientific advancements in the field of steam technologies and clockwork such as the dirigibles, clockwork servants and gas assisted sky helixes, however it is hardly a bastion of knowledge and civility. Dark alleys between tall, tight packed buildings create a veritable web of corridors amongst which the underworld of Vapor exists. Thieves, murderers, blackmailers and thugs are all considered to be professions as opposed to criminal types. Being arrested is simply an occupational hazard, like a steam engineer being boiled alive. As such there are guilds for thieves, murderers, blackmailers etc. etc. High above the city the aristocracy live out their lives upon lavish dirigibles which loiter around the sky, resplendent in their copper and brass finery. Smaller service zeppelins can be seen zipping to the surface evry now and again to retrieve gas, water, food or deliver contracts, letters of patronage and such and such. Finally, the citizens that actually use the buildings of the city, workers, marketeers, labourers, basically the meat of society, to be taken advantage of by either crust. Welcome to Vapor, the mayor hopes you stay long enough to vote for him.
