AsBloodTurnsEverCold Posted April 21 Posted April 21 (edited) The Shining City Population: 8,234,034 Travel Information: 1 hour East of Arikara Falls by Hyper Train, 2 Hours North of Lonpool and Kakuhekishi by Hyper Train [Economy: Immense | Safety: High | Magical Presence: Medium | Supernatural Presence: Medium | Tech: High | Intrigue: High | Alignment: Valor] <Heroing status: Legal> One of the oldest parts of the Great Hand Megaregion, Nahan Springs lies 1 hour away from its dark reflection Arikara Falls. Nahan Springs was the vision of the Goldstone brothers Alan Goldstone, and Kenneth Goldstone otherwise known as Chrysos and Mighty Midas respectively. Mighty Midas took control of the city after defeating his rogue brother in the 1920s, but continued the dream using his vast wealth and knowledge to creative something amazing. It is a sprawling metropolis of extremely large (if not impossible) structures, advanced technology, and endless secrets. It is a city built upward towards the sky and even seems to have its own clouds. Heaven on Earth. A shining reflection of will and what could be. A monument to excess, ingenuity, and desire. The sun reflecting off its gilded structures mirroring the tendency for good that the people of the city are thought, or rather, hoped to embody. Known for its technological development, classical vibe, and beautiful displays its a popular place and despite the occasional machinations of mad scientists and greedy politicians it is the place to be. Its more salient dangers lie more with greedy business, government organizations with no oversight, "classy" crime families, and mad science. Those at the top often vying for the soul of the city, often self-serving and wanting to be the face of the city. It is, however, a mecca of heroes and as such no scheme goes unpunished...at least when it can't be spun into positive PR. The people are a bit naive but that's the result of living a fairly good life in city made after a dream. It does maintain a very pristine image although there is a poor area known as the "Lantern District" made up of poorer housing that often sees crime on the lowest "rung" of the city. Its fairly manageable if forgotten. Welcome to the Shining City where humanity can touch the sky. Edited 16 hours ago by AsBloodTurnsEverCold
