This city... there's a certain something about it. And that something is not good. This city does things to people, terrible things to their heads, their minds, their health, both mental and physical. It feels like the concrete, bricks, glass, metal and paint of the architecture has absorbed the evil, madness and wickedness of its denizens... and radiates it to effect and corrupt others.
From afar, the city Gleems bright as a star in the night sky, but up close, its a dirty, destructive, dilapidated, dangerous cesspool.
Violent criminals, crazed gangs, insane addicts, rapists, freaks, maniacs and serial-killers stalk and prey-upon the unsuspecting populace. Drug-dealers, human-traffickers and child exploiters all make a quick quid off the suffering of others.
And worse, the police are useless, and apathetic, and even exploit the chaos to indulge their own sick fantasies while on the job, on the beat.
This is a troubled ol' town, most people don't want to live here, most people won't survive here.
