The industrial capital of the world, and the second largest city in Materia. This city was built around a series of productive mines in the mountains and a vast industrial system has formed here. Coal and metal ores are found in the surrounding hills in vast abundance. In addition to the mines, forges and kilns dot the landscape refining iron and other metals as well as baking limestone byproduct of the mines into lime powder for farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is great wealth here, though not for everyone. Work is reliable and pays well, and provides security as most employees of mines and furnaces are provided with housing, education and food, but the trade is that these jobs do not pay very much due to those amenities being deducted from wages. Those who manage to become supervisors or owners often live in much more comfort and find financial success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electric power generation plants dot the landscape providing power to industries, mines and wealthier homes. Industries less than a mile from the nearby river make use of small hydroelectric plants for power.
Pittston is approximately 280km from New Bacam by rail and 350 by road. The city is 500km from Kyrio by road and 400 from the same by river barge. The town of Shillforge, which also exports metal goods produced with Pittston steel, is approximately 80km away by barge or road. The meeting of the Pittston Road with the Great North-South Road at the town of Farn’s Tavern is approximately 520km from Pittston, with the railway expected to reach that point some time in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","landmarks":"
