01

01 was the first and only city ever founded by the mecha-gnome society independent of their creators, the gnomes of ampere fields. 01's population grew exponentially from its humble beginings. It was limited only by the amount of metal it could mine and acquire through trade it became the home tens of millions and a capitol of innovation and industry sprawling out across the land.

The founders of 01 left their place among gnomish society as despite the claims of the council to the contrary they felt like second class citizens. The final straw that caused the division is known as The zipboom Debacle

The Ravanous Flesh
The prosperity and growth that 01 experienced did not come without sacrifices. Neither land, air nor sea escaped unscathed from the inexorable march of progress. Pollutants poured out from 01 as fast as metal poured in. This disregard for nature in favour of technological progress deeply offended and angered the goddess Moonaria who cursed the land as divine punishment turning all mechanical life in the city organic.

IIf the punishment had just been too strip the race of its identity and purpose it would have been severe enough but that was not the end of it for it was in the aftermath that the true horror of this catastrophe revealed itself.01 was the largest city in Lume with a huge population density that would be unsustainable to any other race given technology at the time due to there being little need for infrastructure for food or sanitation. So after the curse the city fell apart; rioting, starvation, and disease spread quickly. The squalor and pestilence that befell that once great city was of a previously unimagined scale. Over 50% of the population had died by the time aid from other nations had the situation under control.

Humanitarian aid
Once the news of the disaster had been passed through the hall of mirrors the world banded together to send aid, Druids and moonfolk used magic to clean the city of the filth, disease and decay that had set in. and set to work on making the surrounding lands fertile once again to try and make life sustainable for the millions of new mouths to feed.

The Witch Queen of the undead sent her minions to work the fields, and food and shelter was offered by the milzi, and military support at this vulnerable time was given by the long standing allies the doppelgangers.
