MUSH description
<En>chufa(#91Rn):
Enchufa is a mid-sized coastal town in the southeastern sector of Doma; it's famous for being a town primarily populated by mechanics and inventors. It is not uncommon for magically-inept thinkers to flock there to share ideas and pioneer new technology.
Travelling the streets in Enchufa is something like traveling in any other Doman city of its size but Enchufa has a somewhat different feel to it--mostly for its oddities like electric lampposts and enormous steam-driven generators every few blocks. It also bears to note that uniformed guards, dressed in similar outfits to standard Doman military regalia, stand on street corners with rifles resting against their shoulders.
Enchufa is also less "open-air" than the Doman markets tend to be, and most if not all business transactions take place indoors.
However, there are plenty of roundabouts and circles with benches and greenery for the occasional traveler to stop and chat or enjoy a sandwich on the go. It bears some resemblance, overall, to a city in the days of the early industrial revolution.
