  2. The Canals (Equator) - Portions of the deep city closest to the two directions of the gravity plane. Here abundant canal systems allow for boats and food production opperations
  3. Iron Wilds (Almost all of deep city) - the plethora of caves, caverns, and tunnels that are interspersed with metal railways make this the largest portion of Bhaal and where most denizens live. It an ever evolving chaotic mesh of "pockets" and "mainlines" or neighborhoods and streets in most places in the material plane.

Points of interest

Geography

This large earth and metal body is roughly shaped like a thick disk with it's central hole filled with the Shaedlake. Though only the northern half has an almost entirely open portion of the lake to the Expanse.

Natural Resources

  • Clean water from the Shaedlake
  • The fungal life that inhabit much of the humid portions of the Surface City side of the lake provide plentiful clean air to the denizens of Bhaal. 
  • Acamnian Crystal (Dust or Sand) by the local name was is threaded through much of the rock and used for powering much of the railway system of transportation as well as lighting fixtures in some portions of the city. 
  • Metal Mineral deposits (especially iron) are extremely plentiful. More so than free space on the rock at this juncture.
