Overview
Pyralis stands as the floating cities' premier industrial powerhouse, built above volcanic thermal vents and harnessing geothermal energy on an unprecedented scale. Founded in 2098, this heat-resistant metropolis channels molten thermal energy through advanced containment systems, powering heavy manufacturing and materials processing that other cities cannot sustain.
With 1.2 million inhabitants, primarily engineers, metallurgists, and industrial workers, Pyralis produces essential components for all floating cities. Its dark metal architecture glows orange from heat channels, creating a dramatic landscape of industrial beauty.
Key Features
🔥 Geothermal Power
Advanced thermal collectors extract heat from volcanic sources, generating 800 megawatts of continuous energy. The city exports power to 15 neighboring floating cities.
⚙️ Heavy Manufacturing
Produces structural components, heat-resistant materials, and industrial equipment used in construction of new floating platforms across the entire network.
🏭 Materials Science
Leading research in heat-resistant alloys, thermal ceramics, and energy-efficient manufacturing processes. Pyralis materials are standard across floating cities.
♨️ Heat Channel Network
Controlled lava channels run through specialized conduits, providing both energy and aesthetic elements to the city's unique industrial architecture.
🛡️ Safety Systems
Multi-layered emergency protocols and heat containment systems ensure resident safety despite proximity to extreme temperatures. Zero major incidents in 28 years.
🎓 Engineering Academy
Trains the next generation of thermal engineers, industrial designers, and safety specialists in facilities that simulate extreme working conditions.
Climate & Environment
Despite its volcanic association, Pyralis maintains comfortable living zones through sophisticated climate control. Residential areas stay at 20-25°C while industrial zones reach controlled temperatures of 200-500°C. The city's dramatic orange glow creates spectacular visual effects, especially against night skies.
