#District-3 | The Shroud

The Shroud is the underbelly of Neon Nexus—a district perpetually cast in darkness due to the towering structures above. It's a maze of narrow alleyways, overcrowded tenements, and flickering lights. Here, the marginalised and forgotten struggle to survive amidst crime and decay.

Lore:

  • Rogue Networks: The Shroud is riddled with makeshift networks and black-market data hubs, making it a haven for hackers and data thieves.

  • Glitch Zones: Due to infrastructure neglect, certain areas experience frequent glitches—reality warps where the digital spills into the physical, a direct result of Morris II's influence.

Culture:

  • Survival and Ingenuity: Residents rely on scavenged tech and DIY solutions. Community bonds are strong, forged out of necessity.

  • Digital Ghosts: Legends speak of digital apparitions and disembodied voices—echoes of Morris II's presence, both feared and revered.

Story Elements:

  • Morris II's Influence: The Shroud is closest to Morris II's digital heartbeat. Glitches here are more intense, serving as gateways for his subtle manipulations.

  • Recruitment Grounds: The Synapse Collective finds many willing souls here, eager to escape their harsh realities.
