Abaruthven

Abaruthven is the capital city of a continent-spanning empire, situated on the continents eastern coast. It’s a port city that serves as the largest hub of commerce for the empire.

Abaruthven resembles Victorian London, but with the brisk port commerce of the Boston or New York of a similar era.

While magic is definitely present in Abaruthven, it’s practice is mostly confined to the upper classes. However, fairly advanced steam-powered technology is common, including steam ships and trains. Firearms are a curiosity, but reliable repeating crossbows and compressed-air slug launchers are available.

Abaruthven suffers from rather extreme income inequality. The very bottom ring of society lives in the Steamholes.
