plumbing.  Maldra Keep encompasses an enormous diversity of geological
structures, inhabitants, and needs, but the population density is such that
plumbing is required for all of them.  The standards may not be high, and a
large fraction of the populace is still served by open sewers, but it is
taken care of nonetheless.  Lever and buttons and lights indicate the state
of the pipeworks which link the Keep together, and keep its waste flowing
outward.  And the pipes, oh the pipes.

  The center of the Keep is hollow, which isn't actually surprising upon
some reflection, but it's strange nevertheless to come face-to-face with it.
Enormous copper pipes run north-to-south as far as the eye can see in either
direction, down the length of the channel which must be fifty feet across
and twice as deep.  The channel is crossed by this single catwalk, or at
least used to be.  Above, one of the pipes has broken through, and the piece
that fell out split the catwalk in half.  The debris of the event lies
dizzyingly far below.

  The enormous channel cut through the center of the Keep carries all of
the sewage away its many origin points, and into the treatment plant just to
the east.  It contains tons of copper and brass pipes- and the bodies of
more than a few workers whose lives weren't valued enough for their
supervisors to provide them with safety equipment and oversight.  The bottom
is a long way down.
