The Wheel Foundry

The Wheel Foundry

A large radial foundry, a central spire ringed by identical drum-modules on spoked causeways, anchored over broken volcanic ground laced with glowing lava. Older and heavily built, silted at the joints, it still holds its star-shaped footprint against the dark. Wardens patrol the ring while the drums turn out the system's stock from the heat below.

Key traits

  • An older, large-footprint radial design: a central spire and a ring of drum-modules on spoke causeways.
  • Sited on a lava-veined seabed near a seamount line, fault heat feeding the foundry.
  • Ringed by patrolling wardens; ordered and fortress-like, abandoned but never idle.
