The City of Nexus

The City of Nexus is a vibrant, multifaceted metropolis, a confluence of diverse cultures, eras, and technologies. Throughout the city, aesthetics blend and clash together in a discordant amalgam of time and space; though the residents do not seem to pay much mind.   The Circle Rail Lines that run through the city divide it into three Jurisdictions:

  1. The Central Hub - acting as a convergence point for the rails as well as acting as a political cenerpoint and identifying landmark for the city, given the massive clocktower
  2. The Hours - A small circle of seven bustling districts where the aesthetic amalgam is most present
  3. The Minutes - A larger circle of ten additional districts where the divide between aesthetics and culture becomes much more pronounced.
The districts within these jurisdictions are defined primarily by the four arterial roads that divide the city into quarters, as well as the four collector roads that act as defining boundaries for the most aesthetically polarized parts of the city. Three additional rail lines: The Seconds Line, the Minutes Line, and the Hours Line divide their intersetcting districts further.
