Denver

Lore & Background

The city survived the initial Voidouts but remains isolated by treacherous terrain and high concentrations of Beached Things in the surrounding valleys. It serves as a critical waypoint for cargo moving between the coasts, often requiring specialized transport due to significant elevation changes. Local Chiral Network staff work tirelessly to maintain signal strength against the interference of the Beach and the encroaching rain.

In Their Own Story

Frost coats the metal gantries of the port as night falls over the peaks. A Porter steps out from the warmth, checking their BB pod for signs of distress. The silence is heavy, broken only by the wind whistling through ruined skyscrapers and distant avalanches. Snow falls softly, masking footprints that might lead something else here. They look toward the dark ridges, where the green signal lights blink steadily in the distance.

Reader's Guide

Denver presents a unique challenge due to its high altitude and proximity to snow-capped peaks. Porters must navigate steep inclines and frozen surfaces while managing stamina carefully. The weather is often harsh, with frequent rain that attracts Beached Things to lower valleys near the city limits. Bridges and rope lines are essential here, as natural pathways can be obscured by drifts or blocked by debris from past Voidouts. Players should prioritize building infrastructure over open slopes to ensure safe passage for future deliveries. The urban core offers shelter but may harbor BTs hiding in abandoned buildings during rainstorms. Always check the Chiral Network map before venturing into the white expanses beyond the city walls. Oxygen levels can drop at higher elevations, requiring careful monitoring of equipment. Cargo weight management becomes critical when climbing steep gradients near the outskirts. Utilizing mules or vehicles is recommended for heavy loads in this region to prevent exhaustion during long treks through the snow.
