Linton

Linton is a town through which many going to The Vatéoneya pass though, being one of the only other settled towns in the region, although that is not to say Linton itself does not attract a fair number of visitors. It sits at a high, but far more comfortable altitude than The Vatéoneya, and is well known for the iron-rich hot springs the town is built around. They are believed to have medicinal properties, leading to the construction of two sanatoriums in the town. It has become a common destination for those suffering from chronic illnesses.
Half of the town is located inside a large cavern, almost entirely naturally formed in a mountainside. Gondolas glide through the warm waters that fill it, navigating between buildings that cling to walls and rocky outcroppings. The air is warm and humid, keeping the cavern at a cozy 75°F, a temperature which the non-cavern side of the town can't hope to reach even during heatwaves.

Defences

The town is more or less safe from invasion due to being so isolated from most other settlements, as well as lacking any significant resources which would make invading it worth the cost and time. As a result, Linton has few actual defenses. The town guard and emergency response personnel are one merged team, and often spend more time assisting sanatorium employees with rowdy visitors or helping the more frail residents safely navigate the area's rocky terrain.

Infrastructure

Linton has built an extensive system of small dams, dikes, and levees to better monitor and control the flow of the hot springs throughout the town. This has allowed them to better retain water when the flow rate drops, as well as prevent flooding when the rate increases.
