Moonspire Dock

Moonspire Dock is a throbbing military harbor built around a monumental statue of Selune repurposed into a towering refit cradle for airships and war vessels; moonstone veins light the workshops while coal smoke and arc-lamps haze the sky; engineers, priests, and soldiers share bunkrooms and drydocks as the town hustles to outfit a fleet for an approaching war, making it pragmatic, tense, and fiercely loyal to its mission.

Workshops clank under moonlight while sentries pace the ramparts and the air tastes of coal and ionized metal.
