Helmaroc's Rest

A City of steam and floating rocks, a cliff jutting out to nothingness, is home to the guilds of The Charbarrels, Pipefitters, Rockriggers, brickbakers, Rockbarons, Grease-monkeys, Roc-tamers, Boilermakers, mopbuckets etc. The guilds are all working together to build the magnificent airships, powered by the magical floating rocks, created with the help of the giant Helmaroc Bird droppings. Because of their size the Giant Helmarocs are not without danger and lots of workers die during accidents. Because of this the union of Roc-tamers is furious at the Rock Barons. Tensions rise with all parties having secret dealing with each other and personal vendettas being poured into the midst, things are about to get explosive. The city is situated on the end of the cliff, which slightly rises up from the greasy mud rising from the east. Parents tell their young ones that the floating rocks were created where the mud meets the droppings from the Helmarocs. Legend has it that before people settled here this used to be the roosting place of an enormous sentient Helmaroc; King Bluudo.
