Roserust it's a beautiful city, if you can look past all the machinery and the fact the giant city had been built in a deep mountainous area and this was desolate location, only the mountains all around. In the city streets are many people dressed in browns and dull colors that are similar to brown; all of them wore a rather heavy cloak though that they could pull up to cover their mouths. The reason for this became rather obvious as a black cloud of pollution was released into the air by the many machines in the giant city. The tallest building in the city was massive set in the center of the entire place, it resembled a castle to some degree but it was very tall and there were many slits in the machine. As the black smoke rises the large building in the center activates and with a ringing sound pulls the smoke into it's depths, it continues to make this sound for awhile before releasing the black smoke; the smoke isn't black anymore, it's white and evaporates quickly releasing clean air.
For anyone not native to Roserust this scene is startling and often makes them nervous, but for the regulars who live here it's part of everyday life. The people walking the streets don't look up twice when the sound begins or when it ends. The tower is the only reason the people are able to live here as they do, although you'll find rust on all of the sidewalks and pathways in the streets, but that isn't even the most amazing thing. On particularly big patches of rust grow metallic roses in brilliant vibrant colors, these were the most beautiful thing in this world next to Roserust's Princess.
Roserust was a city watched over by a King and Queen; both of who had strange traits to them. The King had hair the color of rust streaked with a reddish brown and orange, and the Queen had two colored eyes, a cyan blue eye and a lime green eye. They had passed their unique traits on to their only child a daughter just turned eighteen, her name was Roxanne, the brand around her neck would tell anyone her name. It reminded the people of a collar and of the Gods they served, of course the King and Queen's child had been expected to be born with the collaring mark. Although because of this she was never allowed to leave the castle; which was the giant tower in the middle of the city, although her parents provided her with anything she needed to keep herself entertained Roxanne was far from satisfied behind the castle walls. Roxanne was a willful girl and though she had an amazing talent for growing the metal roses she never left safety, this was boring to her.
One day, as she's tending her rust garden of metal roses her thoughts won't let up, she sends up a quiet prayer to the Gods asking for just one day to explore, one chance to know the rest of the world. There is no response though and with a sigh Roxanne tends to her favorite patch of blue roses blissfully unaware that her wish may well come true and far sooner than she thinks.

(Hope you don't mind the use of the pictures, I just wanted to show a clear image of everything although I could have done it just as well without the pictures, but that would be a TON of reading, because I am through about describing something.)
