All we know is this:Gerrick was founded on the remains of (black bar). It is said to have fallen from (black bar). As the city rose, the Aristocracy came to find it as their seat of power. Soon great steal monliths pierced the sky and the first trains steamed their its stations. The Aristocracy choose...The rest we do not know.The city and its two million inhabitants are divided into various regions.The Nest: The Nest is what most would consider the ghetto of Gerrick, it stretches across the entirety of the city, it is also the literal foundation of the city. Most large, modern buildings are built upon the Nest and its catacombs of tightly packed buildings of ancient architecture turned into squat small structures resting on each other from the immense weight of all that lies above. Sewers and piping runs through the Nest causing an almost organic and festering appearance to be found amongst its architecture. The most common races of the Nest include; poor-Humans, Caelestis(Eladrin) and Nefas(Tieflings) of low-status. The Whip: The Whips is the main focus of the city, this is where most higher-status citizens live, within the skyscrapers that line the Whip. It is called the Whip because it flexes and bends as it makes its way across the city and things change in the Whip like a crack of a whip. This is a place, where most businesses, markets and entertainments reside; from the theatre to the fetish club to the bars and restaurants everything can be bought, exchanged and sold on the Whip. Given this reputation, the Whip is also the most highly monitored and shows most signs of propaganda. It is common for a new movie poster to be covered in propaganda signs in a matter of hours. The locomotives that rattle above on the raised tracks spewing dust and dirt on those below are randomly stopped and surveyed by the Clergy (the police of the Aristocracy). Dirigibles patrol the skies between the skyscrapers their electric lamps setting the streets below aglow. The Port: The docks to the west of the city are a symphony of noise and chaos, as shipments are moved onto steam-liners and cargo is taken off.Many criminals have taken a liking to the Port using it as a base of operations and a source of money, it is unwise for anyone to delay themselves near the water however awaiting a deal to become complete. It is common for various fey-creatures to patrol the waters snatching up unsuspecting victims.The Smokes: The Smokes are the various industrial areas that pocket the city. These areas are built around the secret power-conduits that feed straight into the Ley Lines that crisscross the World; this siphoned energy is used to power all manner of industry and the electricity that lights the city.It is common for the Smokes to develop within the Nest, using heavy machinery and Clergymen Reality-Benders to sweep aside the old and place instead the new machinery and factories to keep the city running.That is all I have right now, but this is only one small area of the World. There are vast stretches of forest patrolled by the Fey. Secret cults worshipping fallen-angels in the ruins of a fallen floating city, etc.</blockquote>
