Zaun. A sprawling city constructed from the ruins of a forgotten past. The air stagnates with the tang of industry and deterioration. Beneath this gray veil, secrets remain.

Rustlings in the Hexgates
The hexgates themselves buzzed, their glowing energies a constant threat. Legends whispered of voices caught within the gates, shreds of prayers lost to the rifts that divorced worlds. Some claimed these signals held truths, forbidden and dangerous.
A brave few, led by curiosity, sought to uncover these messages. Their quests were often doomed, their efforts swallowed by the energies' immensity.
Yet, the murmurs persisted, a constant reminder of the mysteries hidden within the hexgates' core.
Zaun's Unseen Hand
Within Zaun's grimy labyrinth, whispers slither through the throngs. They speak of a force, unseen and unrelenting, molding the city's destiny with devious intent. The Unseen Hand operates, its tendrils reaching into every facet of Zaun life. From the illicit black here markets to the hallowed halls of the Chem-Barons, its influence seeps deep. Those bold enough to challenge this force vanish without a trace, swallowed by the city's hungry maw.
- Some say it is a clandestine organization of elite Zaunite inventors, driven by a vision for technological dominance.
- Others whisper of ancient, forgotten rituals performed in the city's darkest corners, awakening slumbering entities with nefarious goals.
- And then there are those who believe it is something altogether more cosmic, an entity from beyond the veil desiring to claim Zaun as its own.
