"The city provides, and so, we endure with it." — Catechism, Verse I

A Brief Look

The World
Below

A solar catastrophe scorched the surface generations ago. Those that survived retreated underground into an underground city: a vast, layered megastructure of tunnels, vaults, and forge-lit chambers governed by the Primacy.

Here, six guilds divide power between themselves. From gene-splicing to research into energy weaponry, each guild serves a distinct purpose in the city. Will you be a guild member, a dissident, or a servant? It is up to you.

Structure

The Six

Six guilds hold dominion over every resource, service, and soul in the city.

✚

Mythos

Surgery · Splicing · Flesh

Shapers of the flesh, always pushing the boundaries of what it means to be human. With a monopoly on everything that concerns the body, they have a say in life and death both.

🕯

Sepulchre

Soul · Religion · Doctrine

Death is provisional. Sepulchre keeps the record by which a citizen is returned to the world, and theirs alone is the rite that completes the body that the vats of Mythos build.

⚙

Vulcani

Forge · Arms · Fabrication

Steel is their liturgy. Named after the mythical smith of the gods, the Vulcani keep the forges running that keep the city alive. They manufacture everything from arms to armor to the tools that hold the city together.

⌘

Symphony

Propaganda · Entertainment · Fashion

Symphony controls what the people see and believe. From fashion to art to entertainment, they control every aspect of the city's culture. Information is a powerful tool, and they wield it with precision.

🦄

Pegasus

? · ? · ?

Pegasus is nothing more than a name on some requisitions forms. There is no public hall, no listed membership, no advertising. They have an exclusive contract with the Primacy, and that's all anyone really knows.

⚒

Outriders

Salvage · Reclamation · Surface

The Outriders are the only guild that are officially recognized as having rights to the surface, and stay out from the politics of the rest of the Six. They are largely ignored by the other guilds, seen as nothing more than scavengers.
