Protected Territories
The Protected Territories is the term to refer to Erziehen and the lands directly surrounding the Erziehen elevators. Many of the small towns to crop up around the elevators and outside its reach have come to be unofficially recognized territories of Erziehen.
The Protected Territories are characterized by lengthy stretches of dusty crags and hilly wastes. While Erziehen has the benefit of relying on the artificial infrastructure of the raised city, the surface settlements in the Protected Territories oft find themselves engaged in struggles against nature itself with heat, dryness, and lack of fertility plaguing the area. Much of this is mitigated by the primary settlements in the Protected Territories forming around elevators and railroad stations, allowing easy access to the support of Erziehen.
