Incredible fjord cities

The North is famous for its majestic, almost surreal pillars and fjords, each so unique. These two fjords have served as perches for urban settlements. This fjord settlement developed literally on the rock island at the end of a 4 mile long Seigth (Victory) fjord. The flourishing economy made the hydrofoil and seaplane commuting affordable, giving rise to these upscale communities only 20-30 minutes from Waldihnok or Morau. The sheer walls of the rock serve as structural anchor, instead of having to drill the bedrock, which always contains unwelcome materials like radioactive ores. The buildings obscure the fjord. This skyblock town community has over 12,000 residents.

This fjord town of Brydill Fjord is a collection of scattered high rises at the end of the short, 1 mile long fjord that starts on the southern shore of the eastern side of the Northern peninsula. Having rather low rocks, the fjord gets plenty of sunshine and basks in the tropics-like microclimate, housing over 20,000 people at this town. Everyone here works for at the defense and government institutions in Morau, 10 minutes by helicopter or seaplane, or 35 minutes by hydrofoil and then a commuter train into the city.
