// WORLD MAP
THE CITY
16 zones across five vertical layers. The city runs from the rooftops where signal pirates broadcast to the Substrate far below where something old hums at 33hz. Each zone has its own factions, its own rules, and its own way of killing you.
VERTICAL LAYERS
The city as Helixion designed it. Corporate campus, residential blocks, industrial districts.
Maintenance tunnels, drainage systems, the infrastructure mesh below street level.
Resistance strongholds, black markets, the dead metro. Where the city forgets itself.
ALL ZONES
Helixion Campus
Levels 12–20
Corporate megastructure. Beautiful. Clinical. The mesh's source.

Where most people live. Outer raw, mid compliant, inner wrong.
Industrial District
Levels 4–10
Factories and rust. Chrome Wolves territory overlapping Helixion manufacturing.
The Fringe

Collapsed old city. The edge of maintained infrastructure.
Fringe Nomads

The Parish — community in drainage tunnels. Water, rust, survival, mutual aid.

The seam between civilian and Helixion infrastructure.
Industrial Drainage
