The map
The complexity of the Dome world is incredible. Climate systems unlike anything you’ve seen or heard of. Oceans flow in fast clockwork motions, unimaginable oversized reefs protect land zones, arid deserts lay flat for hundreds of km’s whilst tropical waters connect directly to dry zones. Land on the outskirts of District 4 & 5 creates itself.
No one knows how or why but this grey slated flat land springs to life in a matter of years rather than centuries.
The Dome is a balancing act, perfectly designed and flourishing through its life span.
Borders that divide.
District 1, the epicentre of the Dome is a large island mass, able to sustain itself if needed, due to its perfect growing conditions and abundance of resources.
District 2 is a circular mass of low lying land surrounded by an ocean, which elevates itself around to the North eastern corner. Here the Dome defies our scientific laws with the ocean sitting much higher than land level.
District 3, a water zone consists of over 80% ocean with the population living upon the peak of an impressively high gorge. This district has an uncharted amount of cave systems running underneath land and ocean.
District 4, a mostly land based zone with a majority of its terra firma being dry and arid. Three tropical zones with surrounding seas co-exist, by our scientistic reasonings they shouldn’t.
District 5, a relatively new district. Has a large amount of its zone made up of grey slate land. This is uninhabitable. There are, however four large habitable zones each with their own seas. These newly created areas provide the most nutritional soil and water anywhere in the Dome.
Capital Cities
District 1 - San Valetti
Renowned for its opulence, San Valetti resides within an expansive bay enclave, surrounded by breathtaking vistas and majestic waterways. As the Dome's most ancient metropolis, it boasts a city centre adorned with architectural beauty of timeless elegance, where cobblestone-lined streets echo the yesteryear era. The cityscape is a low rise verdant masterpiece, with meticulously sculpted gardens gracing every corner, while opulent mansions stand sporadically on the city's outskirts.
District 2 - New Hampstead
New Hampstead boasts classic charm, just like you'd expect from a time-honored city. Stately buildings with ornate facades line the streets, showcasing classic details and timeless elegance. But what sets New Hampstead apart is its city centre skyline, where metal skyscrapers scrape the heavens. These modern giants, constructed of glass and steel, provide a stunning contrast to the classic beauty of the city.
The urban landscape is a testament to the city's ability to embrace the future while preserving its rich past.
District 3 - Glisten Gorge
A melting pot of diverse bloodlines has propelled Glisten Gorge into a modern city with forward thinking values. As the most expansive urban hub within the Dome, this fast expanding concrete jungle is bustling anytime of day and night. A myriad of tribes, variants, animals and cybernetic entities coexist in this vibrant tapestry of life, making the largest city in the Dome unique in its own right. Sectors range from designated suburbs to heavily populated high rise apartment areas with most connected by the submarine subway system.
District 4 - Mushkila
A border city born from illegal activities, Mushkila is a smorgaboard of the Dome underbelly. The life force of this city pulses through its labyrinthine backstreets, hidden alleyways, and seedy apartment blocks. Structured on a meticulously organized grid system, sectors range from safe by daylight to extreme danger 24/7. At present 30% of the city is built underground with access run by syndicates and mafia. An impressive tunnel system also links to various locations in District 3. The city’s dark secrets are locked in the veins of the city itself.
District 5 - Blossom Valley
The newest capital city in the Dome, Blossom Valley is more akin to an ever expanding town than a city. The Valley defies conventional city labels, presenting itself with its understated buildings, functional city design and designated sectors for work and play. Its sprawling outskirts blend into fields, farms and valleys giving this young community a feeling of calm composure. Blossom Valley is celebrated for its progressive ethos, championing the values of unrestrained love, boundless exploration, and a defiant spirit against conformity. It has magnetized a population of forward-thinkers, artistic souls, and individuals who embrace the unconventional path, forging a community that thrives on individuality and creative expression. Needless to say, this capital city and district that allows all bloodlines with open arms.
