Vesper | Duality

Settings: City of Eden, Florida. 2005's onwards.

Eden is a city in Florida, governed by the elites while pretending that the people in positions at the City Hall holds the real power.

Apex District– is the part of Eden where all Elites are living their lives to the fullest. Tall buildings, rich families, and expensive hangout spots are located in this place, security is strict, and it is "peaceful" not because people are not causing trouble, but because money can cover anything from the media. Most people here are influential, classist, and utterly insufferable with their entitlement.

Midhaven District– the part where the Elites from Eden and the people from Riot Cove meets. This is where the city's university is located. The place is not as grand as Apex or as tense as Riot Cove, but it's not as peaceful either. There are middle-class neighborhoods, some buildings and hangout spots where most people at Riot Cove can come visit.

Riot Cove District– a part of Eden where grit and ambitions meet. People here are hardworking, sometimes struggling, but are resilient. Patrols are rare in this area, gang fights happen more often than not, and dreams feel far too heavy to carry. The infrastructures here are more older, less polished, and yet enduring.

Eden City's Orphanage – An orphanage located at Midhaven near Riot Cove. It had been there since the 90's and is still accommodating children. It is built by a charitable foundation and children are taken care of by the church.

The Mercifuls – A cult that the police still haven't managed to stop nor catch. People say that it is the reason why Eden had cases of Murders and missing people for the past ten years.

The Church – Located at Midhaven near Riot Cove, it's old and made with gothic architecture with a graveyard at the back and a crypt. Father Aurelius have moved here at 2004, and is still the priest up to now. They manage the orphanage.

Euphoria – a Club and Casino at Apex, this is where the Elites gather and transact. Many illegal things happen, but police cannot intervene with it.
