Twilight City

Twilight City is one of the major city domes of the current era. The dome is not an impenetrable bubble but more of a filter, keeping dangerous toxin-laden dust and low level UV radiation out of the city. It has twelve gates which all have the names of jewels and shine - it's said - like pearls at dawn and dusk when the light hits them.

The name Twilight City is said to come from the large star-tipped tower at the centre of the domed city, which was one of the first buildings created. However, the quality of the light through the UV filters creates a hazy, purplish dim hue to the whole settlement, which looks reminiscent of twilight.

Size:

The itself city has an area of 19.63 km. The Twilight City Dome is 5 km across at it's widest, with a 15.71 km perimeter that takes 4-5 hours to walk around. It has 12 gates in and out of the city, spaced equally like points on a clock around the circumference of the dome.
