  ## POWER
 
- The city itself is fueled by the Pneumatikon, a massive geothermal steam engine and pressure grid. Geothermal heat boils water, the steam drives a huge mechanical press, and those presses compress banks of the mysterious power crystals provided by House Qamarat. Under pressure, the crystal releases an electrical charge. Its structure gradually breaks down, however, so a constant supply of crystal is required.
