Districts

Grand Malnarr Station

At the heart of Binkyepae is the Grand Malnarr Station, a monumental structure that integrates sea, rail, and air travel into one cohesive terminal.
Sea Terminal: The docks accommodate massive cargo ships, passenger vessels, and smaller trade ships. The station’s automated cranes and steam-powered conveyor systems allow for the rapid unloading and redistribution of goods.
Train Hub: Binkyepae serves as the starting point for Malnarr’s legendary train network, renowned as the fastest and smoothest in Ysanaf. Reason for Speed and Smoothness:

• Rail Tech Innovation: Malnarr’s trains use a vibration-dampening rail system made of a unique alloy called Ganasteel, sourced and refined in Ganaguk’s mountainous regions. This material reduces friction and absorbs vibrations, ensuring smoother travel.
• Magneto-Steam Locomotion: Combining steam technology with magnetic propulsion systems, the trains achieve unparalleled speed without compromising stability.
• Engineering Precision: The tracks are laid with laser-precise alignment, maintained regularly by specialized guilds to eliminate bumps and inefficiencies.

Airship Docks: Towering platforms allow airships to dock directly at the station, with goods and passengers transferred via elevated walkways. The docks use advanced steam and pulley systems for safe and efficient loading.
