City of Blackbottom

Blackbottom is a city located on the eastern coast of the continent of Lumaeri. Blackbottom is a large city, vertically carved out of a lone mountain peak that remained intact after the melting glaciers eroded the surrounding land. This was due to the fact that Blackbottom’s core was made of Flogston, which has now all been mined and hollowed out.

Politics

The city of Blackbottom is part of The United Federation of Mira – Five City-States spanning the eastern coasts of Lumaeri and Uné in the Wolfbane region. Each City-State is presided over by one Governor and five City Senators. The Governor and Senators are democratically elected, however, the pool of candidates are high-ranking and wealthy members of society with one seat held by the University.
