Fortress is the location in which most of the setting takes place. As such there is a lot of information on it available, provided here. Read on.

Fortress Layout.

Fortress is a city with an overall round shape. It has five major parts to it:

=============================================================================

The Wall

The wall around Fortress, home to a small part of the population sent here to guard it. The walls are quite thick, and have a few houses built directly underneath them. A lot of said buildings also serve in a way as warehouses for supplies of any sort, in the event of a siege or invasion. The people around the wall are the second most informed (after Central) of outside activity, and usually have the more accurate idea of how the world outside is.

That aside, they are few in numbers and also seem to have little hold in the city themselves, being in their own isolated little corner. Usually, their nature is hardier than most of their fellow civilians due to being in a constant state of wariness

=============================================================================

Workers District

A location of Fortress that is often left untouched, consisting of a number of factories and other buildings, often serving to help the production around Fortress. While money and trade are not really an issue, as the outside world is not very... populated, and Central regulates a lot of functions, plus the population itself keeping a lot of matters in order, there needs to be production of some sort, as the citizens all have material needs.

The factories seem to have existed here, before people came to Fortress, lending credibility to a theory that it was a slave-town, where humans were forced to work and produce goods to sustain themselves, as the Stone-Birds could not be bothered. Aside from that, it is quite secure and locked off. There are parts of it under full lockdown and not even workers are allowed. Central business, no doubt.

=============================================================================

Civil District

The largest district of the city, it's where most people live. It is actually a fairly normal place, most people have relations or knowledge of one another, and all in all it's a pretty pleasant place. However, criminal, political and otherwise 'spicy' elements are present here, no doubt. A lot of factions vie for attention and spotlight in the city's scene, and while conflict between them is limited, it is still there and occasionally sparks. However most members of these factions try to stay away from involving civilians.

There is ALSO a well known about, but difficult to locate or get much information on...a rebellion of a sorts, against Central. The reasons for them rebelling are unknown, and they seem to approach specific individuals, at specific times. Nevertheless, more on the city's factions below:



=============================================================================

Sealed District

Called Sealed mainly due to the nature of the 'things' hidden inside of it. Specifically, the weapons production factories, the power plants for the city, as well as the communications network, a system of terminals that allow people to create their own profile and then send/receive messages, files or even small objects... somewhat like a mail system. It has been used by independent inventors and communication scientists to create simulations and applications of their own, and these have become mildly popular across the city as a whole.

Heavily guarded, nonetheless, for understandable reasons, it also seems a good deal of the information behind it's workings is classified. Only Central workers and people with special permissions are allowed inside.

=======================================================================================================================================

Central District

The center of it all. People live here, and those that do rarely leave it. A small place, all in all, where mostly the Central Personnel and defense force personnel is located in. The leadership of the place is the 'mayor' of the city, although he also bears the rank of colonel (lieutenant-colonel to be precise). This figure's identity is currently a mystery, for understandable reasons, the presence of rebels, and of many forces that'd want to sneak their way inside the walls of Fortress, and cut off it's head.

Dangerous and advanced technology is worked with in Central, and aside from that, the politics of the city are handed in a special portion of it. There is not much to say about it here and now, but players will eventually find out about it by themselves.
