Editing Nation of Zell (section)

== Oren ==
Oren's existence stands as a testament to Zell’s power. Using its vast resources, over the course of a decade, Zell built the city of Oren from scratch. It was designed by its current mayor, Briv Ironboots, to be the most advanced city ever. With a central control center located deep below the city, Oren is set to revolutionize the world.

==== A Planned City ====
Oren was designed for efficiency. A winding maze of one way roads flowing through tunnels and over small bridges cuts down on traffic. Buildings are aligned to allow a cross breeze through the city creating a subtle wind. The modern sewer system allows for not only incredible hygiene but it doubles as a water drainage system to prevent floods. Everything, down to the position of the street lamps, was planned by Briv.

==== Running like Clockwork ====
A person new to Oren would notice many tracks running across the city. This is because many structures in Oren can move along the tracks. Signs can shift across Oren overnight at the whim of the operators. Additionally, large coaches pulled by beasts of burden move along these tracks as a form of public transportation.

==== Shifting Streets ====
The streets themselves in Oren can shift. With a city that is constantly being updated, Briv realized that they needed a way to swap out aspects. That is why the ground beneath Oren is mostly hollow. This is to allow Briv to lower whole buildings into the hollow space overnight. Then, by the next morning, a new, updated, building has taken the old’s place. Despite it being a technical marvel, a few citizens have voiced their concerns with Briv. Although fantastic, the ability to have a building disappear seems to some like a privacy or safety hazard. So far, Briv Ironboots has not addressed these concerns.

==== Rare Fuel Source ====
All of Briv’s work is powered by raw aether. It is the only source with enough abundance and powerful enough to be used on a city wide scale. However, the sources are not easy to obtain. Magical creatures, even small ones, contain natural aether within them. The city of Oren pays individuals who bring them magical creatures that they can extract aether from. Many have found this a lucrative business.

==== The Armageddon Cannon ====
All of Briv’s work has not simply been civic. Oren’s defenses are state of the art. Particularly, its new Armageddon Cannon. Although never fired, it is supposed to use the city’s raw aether supply as fuel for its firing. The cannon will shoot a beam of pure magic capable of creating an explosion with the power to level small villages or enemy armies. Briv is currently testing the cannon’s capacity to see if the beam of energy can be lobbed over greater distances.
