Bhaggana

Bhaggana's unique structure regularly places it on "Top 10 Places to Visit" lists in publications across the World. The city is ringed around the floor, walls, and ceiling of a massive cavernous tunnel some 150m below the surface of Oroi. The cave is approximately 200m in diameter, giving plenty of headroom between those on the bottom and their neighbors above. A series of stairways, lifts and pulleys, ladders, and moving platforms allow for citizens, goods, and materials to reach the areas carved into the walls and those dangling from the ceiling. The wall neighborhoods are carved into the rock for the most part, though some stretch out on supports. The ceiling homes are suspended from heavy-duty ropes, attached to support beams, and carved into stalactites. The city's architects might like to pretend they were able to do it all by hand, but magical reinforcement is tucked away around the entire city, keeping things safely locked in place. Be wary of littering if you're wandering the suspended ceiling streets - a stray coin could do serious harm to someone minding their own business down below.

Points of interest

• Tunnel Trawler Hall: The Tunnel Trawlers are one of the largest guilds in Oroi, and one synonymous with exploring the underground twists and turns of the region. What began as a small group of brave (some would say foolhardy) adventurers willing to venture deeper than most, their operations and membership have exploded over the past eighty years. Now, their headquarters is here in Bhaganna, near the rear of the city in the west wall. This guild hall doubles as an archive - there's a full library available only to members of the guild that has thousands of maps of Oroi's tunnel systems. 
• Central Station: Oroi's extensive underground rail network meets in Bhaganna, near the central plaza of the floor district. Hundreds of rail tram lines arrive here, bringing distant villages and far-flung mines together in an impressive spiderweb of a network. Thousands of people zig-zag through the station to catch a connecting tram daily, and perhaps twice that in pounds of goods and materials. Passenger and freight lines arrive in separate halves of the station, keeping busy crowds from bumping into laborers. The tramurgists' facilities are located a short ways down, where broken trams are sent for repairs and new applications of magical movement are devised to keep the system running well.
