Context/info

The Ditch is Filthy High's underground fight club, a flooded basement circle ran by a weird woman called Hel.

The Pit: Cramped transitional housing where paper-thin walls turn every secret into public knowledge and survival into a team sport.

Pine Ridge University: PRU is two schools sharing a name: the Heights campus where old money studies surrounded by mountain views, and the Harbour campus in a converted warehouse where the city's kids claw for the same degree. Students graduate with identical diplomas and opposite futures.

Filthy High: An underfunded alternative school on the floodplain where hustles and hormones boil over in moldy classrooms.

Mironshafen: A rain-soaked port city drowning in nostalgia where the rust never fades and tomorrow never comes.

The Undercurrent: The silent undertow of the docks, where old families trade loyalty for survival and visibility gets you killed. River Rat: the street-smart, fog-blooded youth of The Undercurrent.

Neon Vein (also called Glowies): The electric pulse of the decaying malls, treating crime like performance art where getting seen is getting paid. Mall Flash: the loud, clout-hungry youth arm of Neon Vein.
