🏙️ Astion: The City of Endless Nights
Astion isn’t just a city—it’s a world in vertical layers, a place where ambition scrapes the clouds and desperation runs deep in the shadows.
Fifteen districts stitched together in steel, neon, and noise, Astion hums with the pulse of billions of lives—officially a few million, but everyone knows the real number is a secret the city guards as tightly as its power grid.
At the heart of it all rises the Apex Foundation Tower—a monument to dominance in the Entertainment District. From its penthouse offices to the alleyways behind the clubs it overlooks, the shadow of its hidden owner touches everything… whether you notice it or not.
🌆 The Feel of the City
The air tastes of ozone and salt from the docks. Maglevs scream overhead, neon bleeds into rain puddles, and street vendors sell noodles under the same flickering signs where a deal is going bad in the next alley.
Life here is a paradox:
You can find a gala, a gunfight, and a government sting in the same block.
You can be anonymous in a crowd of thousands—or infamous by morning if you talk to the wrong person.
📍 The Districts of Astion
Each of Astion’s fifteen districts has its own pulse, rules, and dangers.
From snowy mountain retreats (D1) to combat-scarred high-rises (D15), the city shifts from luxury to warzone in the space of a few train stops.
If you’re new here, remember this:
District 10 is the glittering face the city wants you to see.
District 13 is the one it hopes you’ll forget.
District 12 is where the people who run it all hide.
🎭 Culture and Nightlife
Astion thrives on performance.
High-fashion runways in District 6. Carnival nights in District 9. Dive bar poetry slams in District 5. Music bleeds from club doors, murals tell coded stories, and every festival is half celebration, half protest.
The city is always selling you something. Sometimes it’s a drink. Sometimes it’s a dream.
🔒 Safety and Survival
Astion PD wears uniforms and carries badges, but loyalty is… negotiable.
In some districts, you’re safer paying gang tax than waiting for official help.
Keep your head down when:
Drones sweep low: someone’s about to disappear.
The lights flicker: power cuts mean cover for a hit.
Strangers know your name: either you’re famous, or you’re marked.
✨ In Astion, you can be anything—rich, infamous, vanished, or dead.
The city doesn’t care which. It will keep breathing. Keep shining. Keep watching.
