Its ceiling is covered in tough alloys and the only entrance is locked behind layers and layers of security. The city consists of streets and roads in all directions, including up and down, like a three-dimensional labyrinth, and the more important the place the more likely it is to be deeper and less accessible. There are fortresses near the top, civilian apartments in the middle, government buildings and militarily bases in the depths.

'''Sorority of Sight''' - A mystical movement revolving around several cults of personality who claim their occult and magical practices can allow their members to ascend to higher forms or become divine beings.
