Taz’Noctis

Taz’Noctis is the largest coastal Megacity, and the most populated on Thauzuno with a population of over 25 million. The Rav'thuun Syndicate is the dominate and only syndicate in control of the city. Once a rogue settlement built atop layered pre-Fall ruins, it now functions as a semi-sovereign extraction hub, data-trade corridor, and the top organ-market nexus hub. Entire districts are vertically stratified by wealth, combat-readiness, and neural bandwidth; light and oxygen are both rationed by subnet affiliation. Neon is not decoration here—it’s territorial code. The skyline is bristling with skyscrapers, and communal sniping platforms. Beneath this vertical theater lies the slum districts, coastal docks and warehouse districts, and black markets.   Culturally, Taz’Noctis is defined by its weaponized individualism and biometric monetization rituals. Contracts, loyalties, and even memories are exchangeable commodities, digitized and bled into high-frequency trade loops. Flesh is repurposed. Identity is modular. Every citizen—called “ghostshards” in local parlance—is augmented to some degree, with unmodified biologicals considered at best obsolete, and at worst, prey. The city’s dominant power factions include relic corps, freelance gangs, and cyberized maniac cults. Surveillance is absolute, but ownership of that surveillance shifts with each passing Drift.
