Basin Keep is a city build on a small island amidst a huge lake in the center of Gaia's Garden. Its a technological wonder only possible by the through its location and many safety mechanisms. To make sure the jungle does not creep into the city, the outside walls are engulfed in a special alloy which fends off most plants. The city grew large very fast at it became the main supplier for clean electricity that meets the demands of humans on Shadoon. May Bars and luxurious penthouses can be visited or rented respectively. Basin Keep is often viewed as gloomy since it is always raining and the high buildings leave the city in a permanent dark setting. Still many prefer the more urban nature of it compared to bright cities like Rhombus Square. |
