   A country-sized city ruled by The Head. The last known remaining bastion of humanity. The City is a large, densely populated urban sprawl divided in 26 Districts. Districts are further divided into various Nests, run by Wings.

   The slums of civilization, the Backstreets are an interconnected maze of back alleys, shanty towns, and ruins. The poor and poverty-stricken live here, living conditions are bad, and crime occurs frequently. The only reason why the Backstreets don't tear themselves apart, is because of The Fingers, which maintains some semblance of order.

   The Backstreets have their own "grading" system, in which areas are ranked based on the safety they provide, an area protected by an Association, for example, will be higher than one that is not. People from higher areas will even mock or reject those from lower ones.

   Because of the poor standard of living, the Backstreets are filled with criminal activity such as black markets, drug dens, and small crime groups. Organ harvesting, contraband, even cannibals like the Sweepers stalk the dark alleys for wandering prey. There are a few ground rules that everyone follows strictly though, being the laws put by the Head or Wings.

   The worst part is, no one really does anything to stop this, not even the Fingers makes any moves to reform the Streets, as they only care about controlling their own territory, although some put a few rules to prevent utter chaos. Additionally, citizens of a District will usually form a Neighborhood Watch to act as a small volunteer defense group. This is simply the reality of the Backstreets, a man having his organs ripped out by gut-harvesters is not an uncommon sight, and is likely to be dismissed just as easily.

   But when Night in the Backstreets falls, martial law is applied to the entire area. Any crime, no matter how cruel, how bloody or heinous, is permitted for the entire period until dawn. Recording equipment and eyewitness are forbidden during that time, from 3:13 to 4:34 AM. This rule was most likely created by the Head to enforce population control to prevent overcrowding. Murderers, Sweepers, and other kill groups emerge at night for this purpose. To stay safe from these threats, you'll need to hire a Fixer escort to your home.

   Comprised of the upper echelons of society, the Nests are a place where everyone aspires to go to. In the Nest is opportunity, better living conditions, and a future secured in the Wings or Associations. Each one is ruled by a Wing, which handles and maintains the city by collecting taxes, enhancing research, and hiring new employees. Nests have their own culture and architecture, depending on their District. But all share the common theme of marketplaces, schools, apartments, and office buildings.

   To enter the Nest however, is a different matter. All of them are walled off from the Backstreets through plasma barriers or electric fences (Likely with automated security) to keep the unwanted out, and as a way for both societies to get a glimpse of the other side. Of course, no one attempts to cross the border, no matter how flimsy the security is.

   To properly enter, one needs to go to an Examinee Center to take an Entrance Exam, which requires proper preparation and study, those who succeed will be given a Nest Migration Ticket to enter. Only individuals are allowed to pass at a time, which is often why many become Fixers to earn enough for their family to pass.

   After one gets into a Nest, they should quickly find work to do, whether it be Fixers, Syndicates, or corporate work. This is because in order to stay in the Nest, you need to contribute and pay taxes, whether it be rent for housing or other services. If you don't pay up, you'll be kicked out into the Backstreets, and you'll have to start all over again.

   For education, many schools are dedicated to teaching students to enroll in universities within the Nest if they want to join a Wing. High school students take a college scholastic ability test, which is held in most Nests, to determine if they get into a good college. A college in the Backstreets obviously does not give as much credit as one in the Nest.

   But just because your within the Nest, doesn't mean your safe from danger. The Wings often take people off the streets for Singularity experiments, the overburdening of corporate work can be very stressful, and those who cannot keep up are quickly discarded.

   The Wings, also known as the Wings of the World, are a group of the 26 largest, most powerful conglomerates in the City. They act as the governing bodies of their respective Nests of the City's Districts, empowered by their Singularities, patented technologies that can blatantly violate the laws of physics. The Wings are directly ruled by the Head, the Eye, and the Claw, the enigmatic supreme authority of the City.

   Wings can request mutual agreements with other Wings or their associates to either deal with certain issues they cannot handle, or an exchange of armaments, supplies, or personal. Wings can also hire Fixers into working for them, Kali being an example, as she was hired by Lobotomy Corporation. Most Wings have some form of a para-military force and Fixers to use in armed conflicts, typically with rival Wings, lesser corporations, or Syndicates and monsters.

   The 1st Wing, known as "The Head", is a mysterious organization that rules all of the Wings and Districts, they reside in District 1, at the heart of the City. They maintain their iron grip through their Singularity and various subsidiaries that enforce their will. They directly manage A Corp, which is an extension of the Head's will that properly manages the City. In a way, the "Head" is made up of three Corporations, A Corp, B Corp, and C Corp, run by the Head, Eye, and Claw respectively.

   A reclusive group, the Head's identity is completely unknown. No one even knows much about District 1, other than the fact that its heavily guarded. Anyone who violates the laws of the City or attempt to further discover the Head's identity quickly and quietly disappear.

   For handling threats or securing dangerous artifacts, the Head has its own personal army of Fixers, and modified soldiers. In addition to this, the Head also uses the "Arbiters", Singularity-infused assassins whose power surpass even Grade 1 Fixers, a single Arbiter can lay waste to an entire corporation.

   The Eye handles the surveillance network that watches over the City, anything detected that is deemed against the Head's laws will be reported immediately. Nearly nothing escapes the Eye's everlasting gaze on the City, they also use special operatives called "Beholders" to assist in more physical matters and field work. They appear as digitized forms on portable projector screens, whether this is their "true" body or not is unknown.

   The Claw is the military branch of the Head, they command the "Claws", highly augmented super soldiers that follow orders with unwavering obedience and ferocity. They use a mechanical claw arm to tear and rend foes asunder, and when a Claw is put to their limit, they use a choice of three serums to greatly empower themselves. These serums are selected from Singularities, such as W, K, and R Corp. Veteran Claws are known as "Executioners."

   The Head, and by extension the Wings, all tax the City for nearly every service. Its nearly impossible to not have to pay taxes for something, whether that be food, rent, or services. Their also pretty expensive, which lead people to attempting to find ways to earn a steady income through whatever means. Refusing taxes will result in 4 warnings, if the fourth is ignored, the Eyes will send "Tax Collectors" to track down and kill the evader. The Head also uses various other patented technology asides from their Singularity, such as the "flesh liquidation" process for turning people into Sweepers.

   When the Head designates a threat as an "Impurity", they can banish it to the Outskirts by using the Territory Expulsion Procedure. Through this method, anything from singular entities to entire structures can be instantly teleported to the wastes.

   Located at the fringes of society, the Outskirts are a barren wasteland, covered with bombed-out cities left from the Wings' War. The Outskirts are separated from the City by the various trainways and walls surrounding the perimeter. Not many citizens are typically aware of the Outskirts and its denizens, especially those living in Nest life.

   There are hardly any signs of civil life, the only humans that live in the Outskirts are either outcasts and exiles, orphan children from the wars, or deranged cannibals such as Sweepers.

   However, there are still prospects to be found by exploring the place, strange and abnormal beings (usually plants) and technology can be found tucked away in the decrepit buildings. Some of these are harmful, others beneficial, granting boons or curses upon those who discover them. Because of this, Wings or other corporations will send out expeditions to retrieve these forgotten relics.

   Creatures and other mutated aberrations of significant threat dwell here. Military corporations such as R Corp are probably sent here and the Ruins on Extermination missions, so that these horrors don't drift too close to civilization. Most creatures are discarded experiments from the Wings, or monsters from the fringes of the world.

   The Ruins possibly refer to either the ominous eldritch landscape beyond the Outskirts, or the forgotten Ruins of the Old Corporations underneath the City. The's City's Ruins are different in that the threat level increases as you go deeper, while the Outskirt's Ruins contain things incomprehensible to the human mind. Expeditions sent here have a low chance of survival, and those that do are often shaken from the experience.

   Since these are one of the most dangerous places to go to, its quite possible the forbidden relics and technology found here would be worth killing for. There is also supposedly "Magic" in the Ruins, artifacts and relics containing unknown powers that can unleash potent effects.

    The corporation was led by Ayin, Benjamin, and Carmen. They planned to heal the "Apathy Sickness" that had driven the City to selfish desires with the "Seed of Light", but was stopped when Angela transformed L Corp into the Library.

The device collects the accumulated time, which T Corp then uses for powering their own Singularity.

    This means the passengers would go insane over being trapped for that many years, but thanks to W Corp, they are restored back to the state when they boarded the train. Having no memory of the isolation and madness.

Before arriving to their destination, a cleanup crew is sent to subdue them so that they can be properly restored, the passengers of course, will have no memory of being trapped in a train for thousands of years. Only experiencing the brief 10 seconds of "warping" to their destination.

    Oddly enough, there does not appear to be a "Z Corp" and by extension, District 26, visible on the map, it is unknown what this means.

    Each District has its own unique culture and customs, so its always a different experience from each other. The northern districts tend to be more richer and developed than the south. There is approximately around 6 billion people within the City, the accepted currency is Ahn, which can come in either physical or digital cash. The year is 985 around the time Limbus Company takes place.

    All Districts typically have a set of rules citizens must follow at all times. They vary on the District, but the punishment for breaking them is usually death or capture by the associated Corp. There is one rule that applies to the entire City at all times however. Under no circumstance can any part of a residential building or complex be damaged or destroyed, certain walls or fences are an exception, but anything part of a home or building is strictly off-limits.

    More so a collective of beings than a proper organization, the Sweepers are what every Backstreet denizen fears. Feral cannibals clad in gas masks and armored suits, they prowl the Streets after Night in droves to hunt down prey, butchering bodies to use as fuel for their ravaged selves.

    They care not for who they hunt, Syndicate or Fixer, as anyone unfortunate enough to get in their way will be torn apart. Sweepers reside in hidden Dens when not actively hunting, where they gather and eat any meat others bring.

    Sweepers have a unique condition in that their bodies are made entirely of liquid flesh. They maintain this form by melting flesh into liquid paste using their heat hooks, then they fill their tanks with the paste and connect it directly to their mask filters via tubes to slurp it.

    If this liquid runs out, the Sweeper dies. This technology is patented by the Head, those who wish to join the Sweepers must undergo this liquifying process and wear an armored suit like them.

    While seen as mindless monsters by a majority of people, the Sweepers have enough intelligence to coordinate their "Sweep" through the Backstreets. Most members are even capable of proper speech and conversation, however Sweepers speak in a different language made up of an assortment of numbers, similar to binary.

    In addition, Sweepers have strong familial ties to one another, regarding pack members as "family". A Mother of Sweepers leads several families, as well as fosters and nurtures new Sweepers. Its possible that they kidnap orphan children to raise them as fellow members.

    Seemingly endless in number and tough to put down, they give no regard for their own safety and will overwhelm careless Fixers who underestimate them. Sweepers can also be found wandering the Outskirts, picking off any exile or outcast that gets in their way.

    Pluto is a Distortion known as Yesterday's Promise. Pluto is a monochromatic skeleton donning a dapper top hat and old-fashioned monocle on his left eye. Wearing a completely ash-gray blazer and pants, plaid undershirt, and gray tie—the most visually striking detail other than his skull head being his scorpion tail, covered in spiked barbs. He also possesses black hands with sharp claws.

    Later in the story, after joining the Reverberation Ensemble, Pluto wears the group's signature suit. His new black top hat also possesses the Ensemble's signature blue highlight and is taller than Pluto's first.

    Pluto is polite and unfailingly formal, retaining this stance even when actively antagonizing another party or participating in an attack. He even repairs the Library's front door during the first Uninvited Guests reception when his fellow ensemble members barged in, and apologizes to the Librarians if he happens to defeat the Floor of Religion in his initial reception.

    However, Pluto is also notably sadistic and cruel amongst his fellow Ensemble members, in a vein similar to Jae-heon. He would grant people premise of power or knowledge in the form of his contracts, but when they violate the terms (which is incredibly easy) he could take whatever he wants from them. He also acted as the last straw for Philip to Distort through one last push that compels him to fall to the distorting voice.

    He follows Argalia devoutly like Eileen and believes that he could give him a world without lies of deception through stealing the Library's Light. This stems from the implications that he was blackmailed by Roland, who cocerced him to sign a bogus contract that could easily destroy his career or get him executed by O Corp. This event also acted as the basis of his contract-related powers.

    Leaders: 24 Elder Bloodfiends. A lineage of vampires that trace their origin to Nosferatu. Having received the "gift" from his mansion, they eventually settled in the City. They decided to establish rules to ensure they could avoid detection and harvest blood inconspicuously, they even culled their numbers down to a select few. Settling in each District, each clan is led by an Elder, although there is the occasional rogue element that exposes themselves and causes havoc.

    Like vampires of myth, they harvest blood by extracting the veins of humans. This often converts the victim to a fellow Bloodfiend, where they will then seek out more blood. Bloodfiends are categorized as either those with a violent rampaging desire for blood, or those with cunning who manipulate and convert victims. The hungrier a Bloodfiend is, the deeper and clearer their red eyes will be.
