Setting:Topside

From Eldritch Wiki

Overview

The upper city of Eldritch, affectionately referred to as "Topside" by the Underground residents, has evolved into a modern metropolis rivaling some of the largest in the United States. However, like most big cities, it has areas that are not quite so shiny as others.

It is rumored that there are organized crime syndicates and gangs constantly in a struggle to claim and defend territories throughout Eldritch, though open warfare is a rare occurence. The Nexus is the most modernized place, as it was entirely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1929. Harbor's End is perhaps in the worst condition, being primarily Industrial, but its residents manage to get by.
