Scrap Section
Scrap Section stands as the industrial backbone of Vortech, a vast and seemingly chaotic district devoted entirely to the deconstruction and repurposing of failed weaponry and obsolete machinery. For generations, this sprawling region has accumulated the detritus of countless experimental arms programs, creating a landscape of monumental metal peaks and twisted valleys formed from compressed layers of discarded components and shattered war machines. The legendary Scrap Master, orchestrating complex recycling operations that transform mountains of ruin into valuable raw materials for future construction and innovation. The terrain itself tells the story of technological ambition and failure, with entire hills composed solely of compacted scrap metal rising like jagged monuments against the perpetually hazy sky. Despite its appearance of anarchic disorder, Scrap Section functions according to rigorous zoning protocols, with distinct quadrants systematically organized by weapon classification—bladed armaments, projectile systems, verticals, and siege equipment each occupying their designated territories. The district's perimeter glows continuously with the intense heat radiating from massive smelting furnaces and refineries, where rivers of molten metal flow through intricate channel systems to be reformed into standardized ingots and sheets. Beyond its primary industrial function, Scrap Section has unexpectedly evolved into a thriving community where resourceful salvagers, scavengers, and independent craftspeople have established a vibrant informal economy, mining the endless heaps for valuable materials and forgotten treasures.

Shooting City
Shooting City stands as one of the most unusual metropolitan centers in the known world, having been purpose-built as an expansive testing and training facility for Vortech Industry's weapons and ballistic innovations. The city's layout defies conventional urban planning, with its streets, buildings, and public spaces strategically designed to accommodate live-fire exercises and weapons demonstrations across multiple ranges and caliber specifications. Founded approximately two centuries ago, Shooting City has evolved from a modest armory outpost into a thriving settlement where residents have adapted their daily lives around the constant thunder of gunfire and explosive testing. The architecture reflects this unique purpose, featuring reinforced structures, blast-resistant materials, and observation platforms integrated into residential and commercial buildings. Vortech Industry maintains strict control over the city's operations, employing rigorous safety protocols and designated firing schedules that govern when residents can venture into different districts. The culture of Shooting City is distinctly martial, with its inhabitants taking great pride in their association with weapons craftsmanship and ballistic excellence, attracting skilled gunsmiths, engineers, and military specialists from across the realm. Natural features have been deliberately modified to serve as backdrop berms and impact zones, while the surrounding landscape bears the distinctive scars of centuries of weapons testing. Despite its industrial purpose, Shooting City has developed a unique identity, hosting annual competitions and demonstrations that draw dignitaries and weapon enthusiasts from distant lands.
