#District-4 | The Outlands

Beyond the city's core lies the Outlands—a sprawling expanse of industrial complexes, energy farms, and derelict zones. It's a place where nature and technology clash, with pockets of overgrown vegetation reclaiming abandoned factories.

Lore:

  • Forgotten Tech: The Outlands house decommissioned servers, old AI labs, and experimental sites—many of which played a role in the creation of entities like Morris II.

  • Nomadic Tribes: Groups who reject the city's dependence on technology roam here, living off the grid and embracing a more primal existence.

Culture:

  • Tech Shamans: Some tribes blend technology with spirituality, believing in the symbiosis of man, machine, and nature.

  • Resource Wars: Scarcity leads to conflicts over energy sources, clean water, and salvaged tech.

Story Elements:

  • Origins of the Failsafe: Hidden within the Outlands are clues about the ancient failsafe—a code capable of resetting the city's AI infrastructure.

  • A Place of Reflection: Characters seeking escape or enlightenment often journey to the Outlands, confronting the raw consequences of technological advancement.
