History

As Aria expanded and grew it became clear that a landing area for airships was necessary. The problem was with Aria being further inland there wasn't a body of water big enough to act as a natural landing pad for the airships. The Docks took three years to be built. It is a man made lake that the sole purpose of it being made was for a launch area for airships. It was expanded to be a building area as well for airships. All the airships for Aria's private and commercial sales are built in the Docks.

The Docks was built outside of the city for the same reasons as to why the Industrial District was built outside the city. Being a Dock worker is a very high risk job as it is a dangerous job building airships. The Docks never goes a day without some soft of injury or death. The walls that serve as a border in this section are thicker and made of the strongest material to prevent in the case of an explosion from reaching the Military Ward and Commercial District.

Background

Since the Docks is a man made lake, there is very little wildlife or fish within the waters. Even though the River Lyne passes through it the waters in the Dock are very muddy and dirty. The Docks is one of the busiest sections of the city when they are not building new ships there are the landing and the launching of airships to tend to. For this reason security is a bit tighter here. As usually the rich and powerful are the ones that use the airships the most. There is a private ferry that charters those that live in Midland to and from the Docks.

The River Lyne flows in from The Commonlands through North Point to circle around the Midland and south out of the city and through the Industrial District. The River Lyne flows into the small lake before continuing southwest through the Industrial District.
