Erde /ɛrdɛ/
Erde is a technologically and magically advanced metropolis in the Sengtel valley. A place where words and science compete. Science advances to attempt to surpass what magic does, while magic can do things technology can only dream of. The city Erde has grown to fill the valley with skyscrapers and buildings climbing halfway up the mountains. Technology and magic compete with each other and refuse to rely on each other for anything meaningful.
Demographics
There reside in Erde a great many peoples, from every color of human to centaurs and hobbits. Many menial professions, such as cleaning, are left to creatures created or altered for the task (such as ants cleaning dirt and crumbs from houses and insects managing sewage) so higher species can focus on greater tasks.

Geography
Sengtel valley is nestled peacefully in the Northern most part of the Fiale mountain range which stretches North to South on the continent of Sehen. Several glaciel rivers, as well as some spring-fed streams, run through Sengtel South-West to Wessen lake. The mountains are comparable in size to Mt. Everest and snow capped year-round with vegetation reaching only one-half to two-third of the way up, depending on the mountain.
Natural Resources
The natural resources are effectively and quickly cultivated, harvested and mined. They are so effective, in fact, that the non-renewable resources, such as precious metals and natural gasses, which have been being actively sought, will be depleted completely from the area within 50 miles of the city in the next decade or so.
