Neopets Users: Half of the website is bungled and sitting on top of 90's spaghetti code that is circumvented by having about 50% of the pages to load in the old website format, we can't change our Usernames since they act as our User IDs that are inexorably tied to our accounts, and the only way we can get some apparel is through a loot box that costs real money, sometimes upwards of 10 bucks for a 25% chance of getting what we want. That's ok tho, my favorite neopet has a custom outfit that looks really nice :] Sucks when the clothing that costs realass money doesn't show up on my pet though. I hope they fix that soon

Flight Rising Users: If the staff releases one more dragon breed with 4 legs and 2 wings we're going to file a class action lawsuit and scream forever

and with multiple locations you can kind of stagger them - none of my clans make paper, but tarold and gladys do. i don't explicitly write them as selling paper to salt fork or lamploch, but you can imagine a line from them or other papermakers to them. mosaic is a trader who buys foodstuffs and art objects from four lips kiss, and it's fully possible that some of his stuff eventually ends up in minkus's imports shop.

square toe needs to import glass and salt, salt fork manufactures both of those. salt fork has a big shipping industry, pumpkin center has a big entertainment industry, thus movie magazines from pumpkin center make their way to square toe. like i doubt in actuality it's that much of a straight line but you gotta think how places interact! no place that has any contact with the outside world is entirely without trade. and you always gotta think about water and food. you need those to live.

when i'm working on a lore location my main four questions are: what do they eat? what do they drink? what do make that other clans need? what do they need that other clans make?

once you've got those + your main gimmick i find most everything else follows pretty well

square toe:

main gimmick: busted boom town, underground lake

what do they eat? fish from the lake, fruit and vegetables grown using water from lake, limited animal agriculture (chickens, goats)

what do they drink? rainwater, water from the lake

they have that others need? water, which is guarded jealousy. fruit and produce, they have a radio station, they have a law office, art objects.

others have that they need? anything that requires industry to produce: glass, pharmaceuticals, heavy machinery etc. raw metals. flour/sugar/salt. fabric. books.

Lamploch is a town in the northeast region of the Ashfall Waste. It is located above a large petroleum deposit, which leaks into the nearby lake and occasionally catches fire. The rising sparks from the oil burns gave the lake its name of Firefly Lake. The town is sometimes referred to as Firefly Lake as well.

Drinking water for the town is provided through rainfall, solar stills, and occasionally from the nearby Sea of a Thousand Currents (which is freshwater, and also technically a lake) (that's site lore!). The town's agriculture uses groundwater and has had no noticeable issues.

Lamploch is well-known as a producer of fruits and vegetables around the Ashfall Waste, but most of their economy is petroleum based. Sorneith typically doesn't burn oil as fuel (the main energy sources are nuclear, wind, and magic) but it has a lot of uses in manufacturing making plastics and other chemicals, as well as being refined into asphalt and paraffin. Most of the big deposits are found in Dragonhome, but Lamploch's is large enough to support a small refinery and can be collected fairly easily by 'skimming' off the top of the lake.

Lamploch is a semi-popular tourist destination for dragons who want to see the novelty of a burning lake, while also avoiding the civil war in the western part of Fire territory. The city holds a yearly festival in the summer that is a big tourist draw, with fireworks and a street fair, as well as a winter festival, which is much smaller and mostly attended by locals. They also have a clock tower and lively theater scene.
