Linmist

Linmist, known as The Towering City, is a city built in a single massive, multi-leveled tower. Built on a plateau that rises out of the sea, it continues upward almost as though trying to touch the skies. Zeplins and gliders as well as other strange forms of flying machines fill the air, zipping from one platform to another about their business. The plateau is actually an incredibly steep volcano and the citizens use the heat from the lava underneath, mechanically and magically supressed to prevent eruption, to power the many devices of the city. An abnormally large dwarven population resides in the city, forging great works with the heat of the lava.
