Daedar

Description
Daedar is a modern and clean city at the base of multiple waterfalls where it feeds into the river and out to the ocean. It stands out from other cities in that the Adrusians have spent much time integrating their greatest inventions into the city. Some of the buildings have lifts powered by weights and pulleys that assist in carrying heavy loads with ease. The only reasons that these technologies are not more widespread across Astar are two-fold. First, the Adrusians are as cheap with their knowledge as they are with their money. Second, because these inventions are rather advanced they are also often unreliable and few people have the tolerance to deal with and fix the problems like the Adrusians.

The Waterwheels
The Daedar waterwheels are one of the key achievements for the Adrusians. Although the waterwheel is not a particularly new or advanced technology the Adrusians have taken this to a scale otherwise unheard of. They have a building that is a damn with giant waterwheels built into the building. They then use the waterfalls and the mechanical advantage of the waterwheel to power tools and machinery to help with new inventions.

The Technology Museum
The Adrusian Technology Museum located in Daedar is one of the most impressive collections of gadgets, machines, and mechanisms in all the Central Kingdoms. The displays include modern inventions that push the belief of what's possible in these times without magic.
