Cliffside

Cliffside is a Testificate village just outside the borders of Testiville. The town takes its unassuming name quite literally and is built sideways on a sheer cliff face. The only vestiges of verticality are to be found in the gatehouse at the very top of the mountain and the tavern at the foot of the village.

Glitcher and Buncible pass through Cliffside on their way to Testiville, entering via the gatehouse and travelling down towards the tavern. Along the way they rescue Harrow Preiss from his escape pod, which crashes into the village church while they are in it.

Architecture
Buildings in Cliffside are almost entirely standing on their side, with their foundations attaching them to the side of the cliff. This includes trees, the village fountain, and the church graveyard, whose occupants are buried standing upright.

Although the exterior of structures appear sideways, furnishings on the inside are usually the right up according to gravity. Some features are a bizarre amalgalm of both orientations, such as windows and interior walls.

The village's paltry mine is little different, with its main shaft extending sideways into the mountain.

History
Cliffside was founded and named by by Harrow Preiss's first son, Curly Brackets. Its bold eschewing of conformist directions has ensured it never grew as a settlement, but has persisted mostly due to its use as a resting point for travellers to and from Testiville.

The Sole & Seat
As a consequence of its use by travellers to and from Testiville, Cliffside's only tavern—The Sole & Seat—has developed into the village's most sophisticated and well-known location, described by Preiss as the finest drinking establishment that side of Testiville. It serves a wide selection of beverages that can be paid for in gold. The tavern's basement holds a number of large casks containing alcoholic beverages that are no longer in production. The basement of The Sole & Seat is a deep excavation stretching deep into the base of the mountain, built straddling a natural subterranean stout river. A mechanical 'Tech Bridge' crossing it has recently been installed by Bridge Tech, but its programming had to be created by Glitcher and Buncible as payment of their drinks tab.

The basement also contains two smaller rooms, one of which is a 'zoo' of aggressive mobs, which are carved up and served as pub grub. The other is a hidden room used as the secret meeting place of a group, including the tavern's barkeep Kyle, who are hoping to destroy the Brewing Division. Here they stockpile TNT, prematurely set off by Buncible in a mistaken attempt to make the room 'lighter'.
