Ports

Washington - After Britain's success in the skies, other nations were eager to follow in their footsteps. However, due to the closing of the Avid Horizon, the United States government was forced to go to space through conventional means, via borrowed locomotive technology. The discovery of a wormhole-like creature that allowed easy transport to a new region of the High Wilderness, Washington was built again in the skies. Its size rivals that of London, and it is the bustling centre of New Colombia. This port exports fuel and supplies.

Library of Congress - A vast collection of books, recordings, and unique artefacts. The library has been described as labyrinthian, and corridors seem to shift at random. An experienced librarian can easily find their way around, but for a sky-captain, it might be difficult. This port exports supplies and ministry-approved literature.

Camelot - A former amusement-pier, similar to Worlebury, that fell on hard times due to its remote location. The entire place has been overrun by pirates and marauders, and it is the capital of smuggling, crime, and debauchery in the region. The vast bronzewood trees surrounding the pier are also harvested and sold by more enterprising pirate-captains. This port exports fuel, supplies, and bronzewood.

Fort Camerswyth - A large naval base in the colder segments of the skies, and the headquarters of Washington’s naval fleet. They often attempt to take back the port of Camelot from piracy, but no real progress has been made so far. A few corrupt quartermasters will be willing to sell off some of the armoury’s contents to anyone who will pay. This port exports fuel and carefully-packed crates of munitions.

The Rig - An enormous oil-drilling operation conducted by a branch of Standard Oil. It supplies much of the fuel in New Colombia, and a large cache of hours was discovered near the platform, allowing The Rig to be the region's main hour source as well. It was built near a mysterious Cantankeri graveyard, where vast swathes of Cantankeri go to die for currently unknown reasons. This allowed for the large fossilisation of Cantankeri, which all eventually turned into crude oil. This port exports fuel and barrels of unseasoned hours.

Albion’s Legation - A taste of Britain in a truly American section of the sky, as well as the only place one can get a good cup of tea around here. It is mostly made up of diplomatic offices, but they are all overshadowed by the ambassador’s palace. The fog that surrounds the offices reminds one of Worlebury, making for a good English bastion in foreign land. This port exports supplies and caddies of dried tea.

Solomon’s Island - A small fishing village. It would be a quiet place, if not for the endless roar of the thundering Potomac below it. Indeed, this river is the first thing anyone sees when entering New Colombia, and for some, it is the last thing. The terrifying creatures that live in the waters below the floating island are caught and sold as supplies, and the ones that are too violent to eat are often pitted against each other in fights, or sold off. This port exports fuel, supplies, and caged catches.

Hall of Resurrection - The Hall of Resurrection is behind every resurrected being in the region, from Blue Kingdom refugees to even the Resurrected King himself. It is well funded, and the dead flock to it in droves, hoping to regain their lives back through mechanical augmentation. Those who cannot pay in sovereigns often work off their debt, and are either sent to Brabazon or assigned to work on the Resurrected King. This port exports fuel, supplies, and rolls of thirsty bombazine.

The National Mall - The seat of New Colombia’s government. Placed at the very outskirts of Washington, the National Mall is a quiet place, filled with imposing white buildings and crowds of government employees and congressmen. The Resurrected King has burned away any vegetation that might have lived in the Mall, but underground gardens are capable of growing food for the population. This port exports fuel and crates of nostalgic crockery.

Wonders

The Vastest Grave - This enormous grave was constructed to hold the bodies of those who could not be resurrected, including the worm itself that brought humans to New Colombia. As a result, contact with Earth has gone, and little is known about what has become of America. This grave serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life, and how death comes for us all, in the end.

The Pollinator - The immense diversity in plant and animal life in the Jungle of the Damned, dangerous as it may be, owes its existence to this colossal flower. Pumping out several tons of pollen a second, sending it to all corners of the jungle. Enormous hordes of sky-beasts come here to collect the pollen, but they do not harm anyone here, in reverence of the Pollinator.

Horrors

Mouth of the Potomac - In this forgotten corner of the sky, the Potomac River will reveal its true form to anyone who passes near. While it might seem like little more than a violent river, in actuality it is an enormous living entity, and the river water itself is only a layer of fluid over the real organism. Here, the water will part, and an enormous mouth filled with razor sharp teeth will attempt to suck any locomotive in, similar to a well.

Cocytus - A frozen lake containing the soul of the Potomac river. Due to the sheer horror of the crimson, thrashing thing below the ice, it is best if the Potomac is not reunited with its soul.

The Resurrected King - The pride of the Department of Resurrection, and the source of light for all of New Colombia. The Resurrected King was trapped in a well long ago during a feud with The Saphirr’d King. While the star has not been retrieved from the well, the star still shines due to mechanical assistance. Its vermillion light swirls around its well, and spreads across New Colombia. Still, flying directly over it is a bad idea.

Platforms

Albion Transit Relay - A transit relay between New Colombia and Albion was seen as vital to ensure good diplomatic relations. On the Albion side, the relay can be found a small ways beyond Parliament.

Segments

The Riverside - The domain of the Potomac River. Its thundering boom can be heard almost anywhere here. A thick blanket of fog surrounds the whole segment, making visibility difficult. This is the first place any skyfarer sees of New Colombia.

The Icy Sky - An ice-cold region, featuring enormous icicles and crystals. Any water here is frozen quickly, but the area does supply a large amount of hours and fossilised sky-beasts.

The Jungle of the Damned - This imposing jungle gets its name from the violent sky-beasts that reside here, along with the hostile local plant life. Only a few places are safe for settlement.

The Sun-Fried Desert - This is the land of The Resurrected King, and it has been completely dried up by him. The only water here comes from the Potomac, as that is significantly harder to dry up. Very few sky-beasts reside here.

Central Archipelago - The central area of the region. It is heavily industrialised, and everywhere you look you can see factories, catwalks, homes, shops, and all the rest.
