Blackthorn Ridge is a quiet, rain-soaked town where the sun doesn't stay for a long time in the Town. The streets, lined with cracked asphalt and faded road markings, stretch between rows of modest houses, their brick facades dulled by years of constant drizzle. It has a population of just over one million people. It is home to some of the worst ruthless Serial killers. The Ridge is a place where wealth and darkness intertwine, home to prestigious estates, towering skyscrapers, and shadowy districts that harbor old secrets. Its vast size allows for both bustling urban areas, teeming with life, and isolated, mist-covered regions where the wealthiest residents live in eerie seclusion. Cars sit parked along curbs slick with rainwater, their tires splashing through shallow puddles as they trundle down the narrow lanes. Streetlights cast a dim, hazy glow in the misty mornings, barely cutting through the ever-present fog that hugs the ground. The air smells of wet concrete and damp earth, a scent that lingers long after the brief flashes of sunlight are swallowed by the brooding sky.

Shops and cafés line the town's main road, their windows fogged from the humidity and warmth inside. The town square, with its worn-out fountain and cobblestone paths, is usually empty, save for the occasional passerby clutching an umbrella. Rain is the town's constant companion, drumming on rooftops and gurgling through drains, creating an ambiance of solitude and isolation. Even on the rare sunny days, when the clouds part for a brief moment, the streets remain muted, as though the town itself has grown accustomed to its permanent state of twilight.
