Odisha
Stretching across the eastern reaches of Steelgale, Odisha marries industrial might with pockets of untouched wilderness. Vast factories with towering smokestacks are juxtaposed against serene lakes reflecting the perpetual twilight skies. The very ground seems to pulsate with a rhythm – half that of ceaseless machinery, half of nature's own steady heartbeat.
Landmarks:
The Iron Labyrinth: A sprawling maze of both functional and abandoned pipelines, it's a testament to Odisha's rapid industrial evolution. Locals often speak of treasures hidden within its depths, though few dare to navigate its confusing and sometimes perilous pathways.
Lake Asira: A pristine water body, Lake Asira is an anomaly amidst the industry. Surrounded by ancient willow trees, its waters are believed to have healing properties. The lake's edge is dotted with small shrines where workers come to seek solace and blessings.
The Gear Monument: Standing in the central square of Apos, this rotating monument made entirely of interlocking gears symbolizes the unity and interdependence of Odisha's people. It's a popular gathering spot and often the center of many festivals.
Furnace Peak: A dormant volcano on the outskirts of Odisha, its slopes are mined for rare minerals. The top offers a panoramic view of the province, where plumes of smoke from factories mix with natural clouds, painting a unique picture of progress and nature.
The Whispering Woods: A dense forest where trees seem to hum a soft lullaby. Legends say that spirits of old craftsmen reside here, guiding and watching over the inhabitants of Odisha. Within these woods lies the ancient Temple of Odeon, a sacred place for those seeking knowledge about ancient metallurgy and machinery.
