The Gilded Berths
The Gilded Berths are Saltford’s exclusive Dirigible docks, reserved for the wealthiest merchants, influential politicians, and clandestine operations.
Alterations
The Berths have recently been expanded with additional mooring towers to accommodate larger, more advanced dirigibles. Subterranean storage bays now connect directly to private estates in Saltford, allowing for seamless transport of valuable or illicit cargo.
Architecture
Polished steel and brass define the aesthetic of the Gilded Berths. The platforms are suspended over the water by reinforced pillars adorned with carvings of rising dirigibles and curling waves. Elegant arches frame the entrances, and the mooring posts are topped with gilded spires. Gree-fueled lighting casts a soft, golden glow over the area, contrasting sharply with the polluted skyline.
Defenses
The Berths are fortified with cutting-edge gree-tech security systems, including electrified barriers and motion-sensitive warding devices. The Brasshearts patrol constantly, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access. Private observation towers allow for surveillance, while escape routes ensure the safety of the Berths’ influential users.
History
Built during Saltford’s golden age, the Gilded Berths were intended to symbolize the Hold’s dominance over Awarth’s economy and its detachment from the labor and grime of the lower districts. Over time, they have become synonymous with power, wealth, and secrecy.
