These are the badlands--we don't dare venture further because we know better; nobody in the city fears death or the dark, just the unknown abyss of the badlands.
Nobody can tell which is worse--the badlands or the city that the badlands surround; the badlands are desolate, but the city is the remains of the salt of the earth, an ocean of decadent sin.
The sun has become to violent, too hot for human bodies, so a majority of the street systems are underground.
The tunnel system is vast and dark, entangled and intricate like a spider's web.
Crowds of people flock in the tunnel system, trying to avoid the heat, trying to avoid the emptiness beyond the badlands.
Nobody trusts anybody here, enough so that people are scared to look into each other's eyes.
The air here is putrid, and rain is the first and only wonder of the badlands.
The water is poisonous sometimes, laced with copper sediment and toxic ooze.
The factories at the edge of town spew green smoke.
A woman tried to escape once...it didn't end well.
Once she was caught trying to leave the city and go into the badlands, the woman was whipped to death.
