Living Inside Chagrinspire

Main corridors are 6m wide with swinging or sometimes rotating doors or turnstiles separating sections. Sub 1in6 have a security checkpoint. Corridors are 3m wide.

The ceilings have power and gas lines, and crawlspaces that are comfortable for gnomes and kobolds and tolerable for goblins. Medeum humanoids might squeeze like a snake. There are pneumatic mail tubes for capsules with letters or small items. Plant rooms and air plants are required deeper inside.

The floors have plumbing for water and sewage, and service crawlspaces and pipes, similar to those in the ceiling. There are plant rooms for food, garbage and recycling. 

Most lower levels are uninhabited ruins, but might be accessed by all kinds of creatures and humanoids living in ruins.

33 Airconditioning plant pumps air around and may even have bound elementals. Huge fan pumped air pipes connect to exterior vents and to the central shaft of Chagrinspire

A maze of rooms with numbered tubes and some wall charts explain where tubes go, like a railway station line map. Some pods have valuables. Without constant poison baits, vermin love these places
38 Sewerage Works moves and recycles waste from living occupants. These areas are full of pipes, and if run down, will be leaky and covered in sewerage. Machines turn into fuel or recycle food waste to be sent to gruel factories. Dead bodies can be processed, too, and many are inhabited by slimy, telepathic, tentacled sewer monsters to control the giant rat and mosquito problem.

45 Artists district where gnome beatnic poets and painters live, work and play. Other gnomes come for art, vice or tourism. Acorn coffee bars play gnome jazz and are decorated in gloomy abstract art. Eventually, the artists move out as the rich claim areas for their acorn coffee bars and quaint former worker houses

49 Abandoned or unfinished infrastructure or industrial buildings or even a section of a closed tube train line, or even a station, are now operated on the black market for shifty goods, entertainment and services. Seedy bars and hourly hotels are dangerous for the soft

59 Secret Police Station, with cells, torture chambers, armoury and barracks. Have armoured vehicles and automatons. They deal with internal crime or outsider espionage

62 Industrial kitchen and cafeteria, some meals are delivered by pneumatic messenger pod, delivery carrier or elevators to other distribution centres. Many better-off gnomes have a dumbwaiter deliver meals.

72 Roadway, including major multilevel highways with ramps or elevators for changing levels. Some lanes are over urban blocks, atriums. Smaller lanes let deliveries be dropped behind shops and small workshops or houses. Some tunnels are for special goods, VIPs and security. Some large wheeled automatons and walking automatons use it too
73 Train station connected to level loops or the spiralling ines going up or down with two engine golems to climb easier. The smallest have one line, but the more lines, the more likely to have shops and an arcade, usually have vending machine golems
74 Light Rail Tram station often connecting living to recreationals and shopping or work districts, may be suspended over districts and stations have stairs or ramps, and some might have a single rail above or below. Some systems have single rail or cable cars above urban atriums. Cars might be golem cars and self-powered. Routes are shorter than train lines and often share roads and pedestrian walkways (making them ring bells)
75 Aircraft Hanger for assembly if deep inside walls towards the core, or for actual aircraft or airships to land or be stored. Long-closed stables for flying monsters were phased ou,t but might be accessible. Monsters are more manoeuvrable and weatherproof. These structures are enormous. Construction hangers often disassemble into parts for final assembly. Some have huge conveyor belts or tracked platforms to move. The topmost levels have rocketry platforms 
76 Parking Garage for vehicles, mostly cars, but some automatons and golem machines with wheels or legs use. Act as fuel depots and repair garages. Some store vehicles in bays reached by ramp, elevator or crane. Some areas require large multilevel ramped parking stations. Some specialise in vehicle types such as a bus, taxi or bat-milk depot. Connect to major roads and other districts like markets and production

79 Escalator hub often around a central shaft and able to see upper and lower levels, often links housing to shopping or entertainment, or between transit stations or main levels
80 Canals in some areas transport water to the void shield water tanks around the core of Chagrinspire. There is a series of locks to raise and lower levels, but some for cargo might have a series of steps to slow water falling but not great for living things. Lots of this traffic can exit Chagrinspire via the Aquaduct on the plateau gatehouse

87 Hells Bunker - controlled by a faction serving hell and sabotaging gnome civilisation. Spreading self-interested corruption of the system. Have a secret hellgate

Necromancy, diabolical, and demonology schools are more secretive and hidden 
100 Divination College, where barracks of possibly hundreds of spell users conduct divinations while specialists operate crystal balls and contact planar beings for information. There is a library of past divinations and specialist schools for leading large numbers of augry priests. Strange items and magic also come here for study
