Below Zaun's Ash
Zaun. A sprawling city erected from the wreckage of a forgotten past. The air suffocates with the aroma of industry and decay. Below this smoggy veil, secrets hide. Stories whispered in the faint light of oil-fueled flares, tales of misfits who claw for survival in a world submerged by its own hunger.
Within these walls lies the heart of Zaun's dark side. A place where order is a mere illusion, and every day could be your last.

Murmurs in the Hexgates
The hexgates themselves buzzed, their pulsating energies a constant temptation. Legends spoke of voices caught within the gates, shreds of prayers lost to the rifts that separated worlds. Many believed these signals held knowledge, lost and powerful.
A brave few, pushed by ambition, sought to hear these messages. Their quests were often doomed, their efforts swallowed by the hexgates' depth.
Yet, the rustlings persisted, a lingering reminder of the mysteries buried within the hexgates' heart.
Zaun's Unseen Hand
Within Zaun's grimy labyrinth, whispers snake through the throngs. They speak of a force, unseen and unrelenting, shaping the city's destiny with insidious intent. The Unseen Hand manipulates, its tendrils reaching into every facet of Zaun life. From the illicit black markets to the hallowed halls of the Chem-Barons, their influence runs deep. Those bold enough to challenge this force vanish without a trace, swallowed by the city's hungry maw.
- Some say it is a clandestine organization of elite Zaunite inventors, driven by a vision for technological dominance.
- Others whisper of ancient, unhallowed rituals practiced in the city's darkest corners, awakening slumbering entities with nefarious goals.
- And then there are those who believe it is something altogether more cosmic, an entity from beyond the veil longing to claim Zaun as its own.
