Hump Town

Hump Town is a quirky desert settlement pressed against the northwest wall of a giant sandy bowl, shielded by 20-foot riveted metal walls and massive deployable blue-and-white striped fabric awnings that roll up into decorative minaret-like towers atop City Hall. Inside the walls, nested semi-circular streets mix adobe Middle-Eastern style buildings with Burning Man and steampunk mechanical additions, all under a high forcefield sky. The town smells of smoke, oil, and animals while camels on stilts and in tracked carts move about, giving an eclectic, functional festival-meets-wasteland impression.

Hump Town debuts in book 4 of Dungeon Crawler Carl as a fortified desert oasis pressed against the northwest wall of a massive sandy bowl on the fourth floor. Shielded by riveted metal walls and retractable awnings that double as minaret towers, the town fuses Middle-Eastern adobe architecture with Burning Man aesthetics and steampunk machinery beneath a forcefield sky. Its streets teem with smoke, oil, and animals, while camels navigate in tracked carts and on stilts, establishing it as a quirky, functional hub amid the feral gods' domain. As the series continues, the settlement's eclectic design and strategic location position it for evolving roles in crawler alliances, trade, and conflicts across subsequent floors.
