    Sorta like Bralspace...that would fit the bill.

    Interesting idea, I like it :)  Silvery towers and a metallic-sheen
asteroid...there's fodder for poems in there...

Towers of Silver, Rise in the Night Sky, From a Mithril Foundation, Beauty
that Hides Unbridled Decidence, Thus is the City of Mirror

    Or somesuch deal :)  I could probably do tons better if I gave it some
thought.  I certainly see lots of dwarves living there, probably as
"skilled" workers that keep most of the city functioning.
