Andunor Infrastructure Improvements

A notebook, for keeping notes and letters in.

Andunor Improvement Project - Adept Varon Nevar

The following is my evaluation of the city of Andunor and the possible improvements the Arcanum could work on.  My knowledge of artificing is admittedly lacking, so I have focused on the issues rather than the possible solutions.

Clean water for the Devils Table:  The public source of drinking water in the Devil's Table is a small, fifteen foot by fifteen foot pool of stagnat water.  A pulley system ferries water up and down.  If we could devise a device capable of filtering the water, it should reduce to likelihood of illness.  Pumping it to ground level would be an ice bonus.

Security:  The physical defenses of Andunor seem quite lacking, especially those in the Slave Pits.  All that seperats the streets of West Wheel and the Derro Tunnels is a narrow, untrapped moat and metal door.  There are not even gaurds present to prevent a strike into the city.  The North Western gate in the Sharps also seems quite lacking, considering the power of the ogre's beyond.  Aside from simply adding bodies, trapping these areas would be helpfull.  A spiked fense at the moat would deter those who would swim across in the Slave Pits.  The bridge connecting the Eastern Sharps to the primary landmass is also a nice chokehold to ward or trap, and seems lightly traveled.

Waterway transit and security:  Installing systems to create current throughout the waterways could improve travel through the city, and deter intruders.

Food:  Anything to assist the farmers and gatherers in their duties will surely aid the city.  Machines capable of skinning rothe or mushrooms perhaps?  Cold storage to preserve food?  Fertilizer or supplements to improve the growth rate of food providing species?

Introduction

The purpose of this book is to collect erudite thoughts on how to improve the city of Andunor.

With the wealth of arcane knowledge at our disposal the Erudite Arcanum can provide great improvements to the functionality and quality of life within Andunor, leading to greater trade, migration and wealth.

Trade: Excavations in Grayport

[First portion of the document is covered by a map of the Grayport distrit. Multiple areas along the waterways leading out of the city have been circled.]

Agenda: To further grow trade in the city of Andunor travel to the city should be made easier and safer.

This can be assisted by a series of excavation to the waterways that lead out of the city. To remove sharp stalagmites and other hazardous earth formations.

Furthermore utilization of arcane methods of probing the earth surrounding the district other waterways may be discovered and opened.

Implementation: The utilization of of excavation hive is one obvious choise to proceed with the excavation. For probing purposes sonar scanning may be utilized.

Known issues: Excavation may proove hazardous to the trade routes in a scenario where a hollow cave is discovered underneath the waterway. This could potentially lead to dramatic changes in the waterways.

Suitable powersource needs to be deviced to power decisive efforts in excavation and sonar scouting. (See Faerzress Crystal Utilization, EVO, FRZ)
