Story Idea feedback, Brockton Bay ISOT onto Roshar.

[JustQuestin2004 he/him]

Greetings to my fellow forum divers, if I may have a moment of your time I'd like to run an idea for a story I'd like to write but will not be posting here by you all to help patch some holes in it and hopefully improve it.

This isn't a story I'll be posting on the 17th Shard, when I finally write it out I'll be posting it proper on another forum site I frequent known as Spacebattles. But since I'm doing that, I feel more comfortable asking for feedback here rather than there.

My story is an ISOT (Island lost In the Sea Of Time), it is a kind-of-sort-of sub-genre to Isekai where instead of a single person or group being sent to a different setting, an entire location and its inhabitants is sent to a new setting. Most I've seen are about sending a modern-day countries back in time, but for some are about sending a country from a fictional world into another fictional world. Like the entire kingdom of Hallownest from Hollow Knight into the world of Remnant from RWBY just as an example.

My story is about taking the fictional city of Brockton Bay, from Wildbow's webserial known as Worm, and sending it to Roshar, specifically in southern Alethkar on the day that Kaladin arrives at the Shattered Plains.

If you are unaware of Worm, then I will summarize up to the point where it is relevant to my story. Worm is a story of a teenage girl known as Taylor Hebert, who is a Parahuman who possesses the power to control bugs, attempting to be a superhero, only to fall in with a gang of superpowered thieves known as the Undersiders in a misguided attempt to spy on them for the heroes. 

There's much more to it, but if you want to learn more I'd recommend you give it a read, as for the purposes of my story the ISOT event will occur somewhat early in the story, during a bombing spree by an insane supervillain known as Bakuda. In my story, one of her more exotic bombs does its job a bit too well and teleports the entire city across the multiverse, along with some rather surprised Passengers being dragged along for the ride. Capitalization is very much intended.

I don't need too much help with the plot surprisingly, as I already have a bunch of ideas (Like Taylor attracting some unwanted attention from several of Roshar's secret societies just by existing. Props to you if you can figure out who and why.)

Rather, the main thing I'd like some feedback on is the logical consequences of the premise itself, the unexpected and instantenous transportation of an entire Earth based city onto Roshar. I do not fully or even mostly understand how a city functions and would greatly appreciate some help. Like how self-sufficient is an average city with power, water, food and anything else essential.

Here is what is known about Brockton Bay, it is a coastal city formerly off the eastern seaboard of America, somewhere in Massachusetts and north of Boston. It is formerly a port city but its port was eventually shut down. Its total population is roughly 350,000. It was founded over an aquifer but to be honest I'm not sure how literally deep I want to take this.

There are also several groups of Parahumans, some are heroes, most are villains. In terms of society in the city things will devolve into Parahuman feudalism very quickly.

Also, my planned reactions of Rosharans towards Brocktons sudden arrival will be pretty simple in terms of generalities:

The people who aren't in-the-know: "Oh my Stormfather, is this the lost city of Urithiru!?"

The people who are in-the-know: "What the storming/rusting/colors hell is this city?!"

So yeah, fun times all around. Let me know what you think.
