Editing Setting:CATastrophe/Settlements (section)

===Rim Town===
<small>''created by anonymous''</small>

A medium size settlement sheltered from the elements of the Blue by a wall built by the inhabitants. The wall's foundation lies on a volcanic crater which has filled with water. A system of caves connects the caldera to the surrounding ocean but the tunnels are too small for all but the smallest predators and the locals keep the tunnels sealed from entry of most outside life via a combination of primitive (but effective) gates and nets. They lack complex electronic technologies but are quite handy with simpler ones. They use biofuels to power electrical generators as well as wind turbines and solar panels (usually purchased from salvagers or technologically adept travelers.)

The locals live on a boardwalk made from plastic, steel, and wood and live either on houses anchored to the main thoroughfares or on floating houses off the beaten path. They farm fish and certain edible underwater plants and occasionally venture from their home in search of valuable salvage to improve their lives.
