Ridge City is the largest city in the Ashwick District. The locations in the city range from glitz and glamour filled penthouses, to dark and grungy back-alleys.
Woodherst Town is a fairly populated suburban neighborhood just to the side of Ridge City. With plenty of bus stops and train-tracks leading into the city, it's the perfect place to live if you love the convenience of the metropolitan areas, but hate all the grime of the streets. Along with this, Woodherst is home to Herst Community School, and boasts plenty of playgrounds for the younger residents- It's the perfect place to raise a family!
Herst community school resides in the center of Woodherst Town. It facilitates students from ages 6-12, and prides itself on helping young ones develop not only their academic skills, but their creative and personal skills as well.
Southview high is a school that serves students from ages 12-18. It resides in the south of Ridge City. The teachers may or may not be overworked, but most of the staff care deeply about the student-base.
The Hythe Outskirts refer to the area surrounding Ridge City and Woodherst Town. The area consists of patchworked fields and dense decidious woods. Situated in the north of the Hythe Outskirts is the Europa Facility- Just out of reach for all but the most determined of visitors. The Hythe Outskirts are scenic and beautiful, and make for a wonderful day out.
The Europa Facility is a highly advanced and somewhat secretive testing lab located in the north of the Hythe Outskirts. The rugged terrain proves difficult for most people to traverse, and as such the facility doesn't often get visitors. The facility staff tend to live on-base in bare bones dorms. The tests that take place in the facility are highly secretive, as the staff don't leave the base often, and if they do, they rarely speak about the things that occur within the facility walls. Many rumors have spread around Ridge City about just what the workers get up to in there, but those are just rumors... Right?
The Oberon Agency is a well-kept secret of Ridge City. Operating mainly in the shadows, it's difficult for people to figure out what it's deal is. The members tend to be the people you'd least expect...
The Garden is a communal living space focused on individual development and the betterment of society. It's run by Blanca Rose, a noted philanthropist. Located in the south of Ridge City in the center of a beautiful park- funded by Blanca Rose himself- you'd be forgiven for mistaking The Garden as just a mere commune. Though what purpose The Garden truly serves is unknown, the rest of the city tends to be wary around it's members. All of their smiles, though welcoming, seem un-naturally wide..
Just bordering the Hythe Outskirts, the South Sea is a beautiful, seemingly endless stretch of water. The beaches and piers are common vacation or day-trip spots. The tides are gentle and friendly and the wildlife flourishes beneath the waves, all thanks to the influence of a certain benevolent, ocean-bound being.
Sitting above the ever-present quilt of clouds, is a beautiful city inhabited by only those that are airborne, and ruled by a less-than-pleasant king.
Is this somewhere? Or has it ever existed? Did anything at all ever exist, or has everything always never existed? Wherever this is- If it is anywhere, it is not somewhere that is known. You should not be here. Perhaps you should leave before you forget how to, before this place once again does not exist. And please, close the door on your way out. You're letting out the cold.
Perhaps.. Perhaps they will return.
Resting.
