The Great City of Dunderland

Overview
The Great City Of Dunderland is a space-city and the capital of the Dunderland Empire.

The city is built on top of a large asteroid that contains large deposits of queuerock quystal (a pink crystalline material with unusual gravitational effects), this causes the asteroid to have an eerie pinkish-purple glow. Due to the large amount of queuerock present in the asteroid there is a strong gravity field, negating the need for artificial gravity.

History
The current Dunderland is actually Dunderland IV, due to the other cities that preceeded it. The first Dunderland's time was over 2,000 years ago, which was a large fortress on the planet of Tropwen. The city had to survive from both natural disasters and war, so they upgraded it to a flying fortress (Dunderland II). This was suspended by large hydrogen bags to support the weight. When their knowledge of science improved and they discovered the secret of anti-gravity platforms, Dunderland III was born as a high-tech city that flew over the planet. When they discovered space travel, they found the asteroid bristling with queuerock in the Quella asteroid belt. They built a large mining facility which became extremely prosperous and eventually became a city, even wealthier than Dunderland III. It was agreed that this would be a more suitable city, as there is no need for anti-grav platforms and the economy would be more efficient. This was when Dunderland IV was born, almost 200 years ago.

The Guilds
Across Dunderland there are several guilds for different proffessions: Science, Literature, and Arts. These have smaller branches of more specific subjects, and were created by Samson Singapore. These are the equivalent of colleges and universities, however you don't need to pay to study at the guilds.

These are the subjects people study at the guilds: An additional, rather secretive guild which is the most difficult to qualify from is the Guild of Heroism, which even has its own leader, Cornelius Strong. Diablo the cowboy has often attempted to enrole there to "share his hero wisdom" but has been rejected many times, even by Samson Singapore himself. This has happened on so many occasions the Guild now has a hydro-powered cannon on the roof of the building in order to keep Diablo away.
