Role in Story: The city setting for Arc 1. An odd mash-up of 1940s Los Angeles and British culture.

 

Related Characters: Cal, Kay, Marv, Rachel

 

Unique Features: Government is located here. City is dominated by the Aviary, a huge tower containing all the apparatus of government. The top floors are accessible only to those with wings. The rest of the city spins out from this central point.

 

Description: Very zoned, with clear areas for different classes, and even genotypes. Culturally not very integrated.

 

Sights: The Aviary, towering over everything. Sunny, clear days. Sprawling suburbs. Parks.

Sounds: Trams, malls.

Smells: Vehicle exhaust. Sewers in the summer.

 

Notes: This should feel deliberately a bit ‘off’.
