Dunshire

Dunshire is an isolated town near the castle of Neverlost in the country of Malevich. It's built atop a bed of Sonnati Ice, which keeps the town cool during the extreme heat it experiences in the summer. In spite of its access to this unique resource, the town remains humble due to its choice to use Sonnati Ice exclusively for celebrations and never trade. A notable feature of the town is its buildings, which are made entirely of glass.

Dunshire is not part of the Numenera core rulebook and is instead unique to the podcast. The town's mayor Barnaby and his pet rabbit Amber are a reference to the playable rabbit clan characters in the game Armello. Many features of the town reference Ben Wyatt, a character from the show Parks and Rec, who inspired Hopper's character. Sonnati ice and the town's glass aesthetic likely come from Ice Town, a failed political project from Wyatt's past. The town's name itself is a reference to a board game created by Wyatt called The Cones of Dunshire.
