Pitch Lake - Town

The town that neighbours on to Pitch Lake is truly a bizaar place.
When the pitch is mined the vein under the earth moves, which causes the land (and the houses on it) to shift. The solution used by the residents is to build their ever-shifting homes on pillars. The pitch that covers their yards is from explosions of built up gases in the lake, through the years.
Some of the buildings have slid down slopes as the under-lying pitch heated in the sun.
