Atlanta

Atlanta is the capital of the state of Georgia and the seat of the CAS government. It is one of the few megasprawls in the CAS that spreads both upwards and outwards. Atlanta is one of the most diverse cities in the CAS (already a diverse place), largely due to the migration of metahumans there after the metahuman rights activism and marches of 2050. Recently, the CAS government in Atlanta passed a law claiming jurisdiction over CFD-related crimes in an effort to hold corporations accountable for their part in the last few years’ chaos. Lately, there have been major problems around the Fulton County Stadium, nicknamed the dome. For the most part, Atlanta has basically allowed the dome to be a no-man’s land, with law enforcement leaving it to its own devices. This resulted in a sort of feudal society based on might-makes-right meritocracy, gladiator fights, and even bug spirits and aquaponics integrated into an almost alien atmosphere, spilling out in an ever-increasing concentric circle outside the dome. Those outside were constantly fighting to be worthy of being called “domers” and moving in. Ares has decided they don’t care for that kind of chaos, especially the bug spirits, so they’ve called on Atlanta to “deal” with the dome and the domers once and for all before Ares moves in. Atlanta is as metropolitan and futuristic a city as any, and like many sprawls it keeps growing, reaching up toward the mountains to the north and the Georgia wastelands to the south. Atlanta is home to the CBC, the Atlantean Foundation, Cross Entertainment and Multimedia, Reliable Imaging, the Business Thaumaturgy Datanet, Newsnet, Georgia Tech, the Center for Disease Control, the ERLA, Demon’s Playground, the Sorcerer’s Institute, and the Southern Guard (an all-ork-and-troll security firm).
