macbook is a sleek coastal city of anodized terraces, glass promenades, and whisper-quiet transit. It sits along the Aluminum Reach and serves as a trade hub for precision alloys and optics. The Polish Assembly maintains stewardship, emphasizing cleanliness, silence, and low-friction infrastructure.
Geography / Layout / Points of Interest
- Hinge Gate: Primary landward arch that tilts open with the tide; customs and inspection.
- Trackpad Plaza: Broad tactile square with haptic tiles and guidance lights.
- Keyboard Concourse: Tiered market arcades; each row tuned to a different footfall resonance.
- Retina Basin: Clear-water marina with ultra-fine filtration and mirrored pylons.
- Mag Ridge: Low, magnetized esplanade used for cargo trams and maintenance.
- Sleep Grove: Quiet garden with dimmable canopies; enforced curfew hours.
Inhabitants
- Clasp Warden Rell — male city steward overseeing Hinge Gate protocols.
- Luma Vent — female engineer managing filtration at Retina Basin.
- Cursor Swifts — small, metallic-plumed birds that trace patrol routes at dusk.
- Dust Motes — nuisance swarms stirred by electrostatic shifts near Mag Ridge.
Items / Resources
- Polished Alloy Shard — commodity ingot used in high-tolerance fittings.
- Glass Lamina — laminated sheets for promenade repairs.
- Thermal Pasteweed — coastal plant used for heat-dissipating salves.
- Silent Keycaps — vibration-dampening tiles from the Keyboard Concourse.
- Mag Port Coupler — tram linkage component sourced on Mag Ridge.
History / Lore
- Founded as a neutral exchange between polishing houses along the Aluminum Reach.
- The Quiet Charter established sound limits and transit protocols enforced by the Polish Assembly.
- Expansion followed the dredging of the Retina Basin, enabling high-value import of optics and refined alloy.
Events / Quests / Encounters

- The Glare Audit: Assist Luma Vent in recalibrating canopy baffles around Trackpad Plaza.
- Dustfall Sweep: Patrol with Clasp Warden Rell to disperse Dust Motes clusters near Mag Ridge.
- Night Ferry Relay: Silent courier run across the Retina Basin during curfew.
Travel / Access
- Landward entry through Hinge Gate via the Reachway from the Aluminum Reach.
- Water approaches berth at Retina Basin; draft limits enforced.
- Cargo and maintenance move along Mag Ridge on magnetized tramlines.
- Outbound routes connect to the Circuit Lowlands and coastal depots.
