The Steam
This district is the first stop for the Halen West Railway out of the Bridleborne Mountains and into Newfaire. It's a small sector that started out as the city's freight yard. Increased reliance on ground transportation during The Last Great War caused the Primacy to invest in infrastructure. However, in peacetime, they've aimed their efforts at increasing tourism, making the Central Railway Station the jewel of the district.
Meanwhile, around-the-clock construction workers are placing the latest subway technology beneath the district, enabling citizens to traverse the city with ease. The subway is a hotbed issue at the podium and in the press, with naysayers concerned about the danger it poses to people and to the ruins of Oldfaire.
Points of Interest
Newfaire Central Railway Station: The central hub for travelers and commuters. The interior ceiling of the station is painted with a map of the stars, but the discerning traveler will notice extra constellations that seem to form alchemical symbols.
Gattick Yard Subway Station: Groundbreaking took place almost immediately after the formal announcement of the end of The Last Great War. Though it currently only has lines to Silverslip and The Varnish, they're establishing a commuter train that runs to The Sidle. Construction workers tell stories of discovering tunnels that were not dug by the crew.
The Offices of the Halen Star: The only progressive paper with enough money and establishemnt support to feasibly compete with the Civil Tribune. Known for its wide array of international journalists, this publication is often at odds with the Periphery. The current managing editor, Zyair Adisa (they/them), is fast-moving, fast-talking, and wields a rapier wit. Mx. Adisa has an in with the OUP, making the Halen Star the most likely to report on magickal phenomena with any degree of truth.
