Synopsis

This world is based on a city built into a desert chasm, wrestling in extremely tall buildings and structures at the bottom of the chasm to be built into the walls of it to conserve space. This city is split into two sections at the top section is where you find the wealthy elites who keep building further and further up to stay in isolation from the rest of society living below them. The wealthy have buildings connected by bridges and structures built between the skyscrapers so that they can travel through the different buildings without having to leave their section. The second section is where the poor live they live in houses built into the sides of the chasm as they have where else to go but out of the chasm which some have done, but they have to deal with the constant threat of desert beats. Both sections utilize magic in their daily life whether for utilities like light fixtures, heat, medicine, or safe travel of bridges or for sigils which are to ward off anything from the supernatural, sand beasts, or even other people. The main differences between the magic used between the sections are the language their sigils are written and that the lower section also utilizes small bioluminescent creatures that populate the bottom of the chasm.
