Beacon's Heart
Beacon’s Heart is a prominent square within Anchorage Heights, named for its proximity to the Dirigible berths that tower above the Hold. This bustling plaza serves as the city’s center for public announcements, orchestrated political displays, and dramatic gatherings.
Purpose / Function
The square is dominated by a central plinth, The Anchor’s Stand, where political leaders and faction representatives deliver speeches under the watchful eyes of the Council of Anchors. Around the plaza, towering iron lampposts glow with Gree-infused light, their harsh illumination casting long shadows over the cobblestone. A constant stream of dirigibles overhead fills the air with the sound of engines and wind, making the square a dynamic and cacophonous focal point.
The Heart’s edges are flanked by observation balconies and buildings housing both faction offices and public institutions. Market stalls frequently fill the periphery during official events, creating a blend of political theater and everyday commerce.
