$KORU
In a world where monsoons wash away old technology, the Rusty Gearhive arose from the remnants of a junkyard, forming a sentient mesh of gears and oilcloth that now fuels innovation in the oil-scarce town of Koru. The hive's intricate network is tended by a secretive cobbler who repairs and upgrades its components in exchange for cryptic visions of the past.
