Land train

At 4 pods long, the hovering land-train between Saburra  and Natare  is the largest piece of public works in Levis. The land train is a living organism, fed fuel and cast with spells to enable it to float. It drags behind it massive pea pods, each 'pea' able to hold 5 people comfortably. The veins of the organism weave into the pods in a weird symbiosis, that causes the train to huff massive plumes of heated steam, the face of the train set in a massive rictis grin of teeth.

Its main diet is a bucket of worms per trip, and these are usually harvested from the excesses of compost heaps that fuel Natare. As the path of the land train below is also enriched, gatherers will go out to till the soil and enmcourage leaf composition beneath for more worms to be collected.Thus the land train creates its own ecosystem in a way.

  Various feeder fungii form on the pods and must be cleaned off, else the pods will decay prematurely. Removed fungii are added back to the system as churned and pulped biomatter, again fed to the community composts to encourage their growth.
