Tunnel Town

Tunnel Town is the city that spans from one side of the Wall around the Sea of Heavy Sighs to the other. Many miles long, as it cuts through the petrified mountains on both sides and the wall its self. Carved into the bedrock, built up of the native stone, bottom sides and top of the tunnel are riddled with habitation. Homes, businesses, civic buildings, and the myriad of magical aqueducts that keep everyone supplied with water, plus the sanitation of the sewers.   Magic Stone, Stone, and Salt are some of the most common exports mined natively to the area, but Tunnel Town specifically has access to the deepest parts of the wall and thus magic stone. The highest concentration of magic is in the center. This gives them the edge and advantage over other Wall dwellers for the precious substance. Being between the exterior and interior as the only thoroughfare also gives the town-grown-to-city an advantage on the first pick of trade goods passing throughout both ways. Compliments of this, the vast Central Market has a reputation rivaling that of the Caravan for the best in purchase.
