Zaun. A sprawling city erected from the ruins of a forgotten past. The air chokes with the smell of industry and deterioration. Underneath this smoggy veil, secrets remain. Stories whispered in the faint light of oil-fueled flares, tales of forgotten souls who fight for survival in a world consumed by its own ambition.
Here lies the heart of Zaun's shadow. A place where justice is a mere suggestion, and every day could be your last.
Chemtech's Ruby Engine
Deep within the majestic complex of Chemtech, a pulse beats with an unsettlingly intense crimson glow.

Whatever its truth, the Crimson Heart holds a captivating allure, drawing in adventurers alike, each seeking to unravel its secrets.
- Tales abound regarding the Crimson Heart, each more outrageous than the last.
- Researchers risk their lives to approach its defenses, hoping to unlock its power.

Whispers in the Hexgates
The hexgates themselves hummed, their flickering energies a constant source. Legends spoke of voices caught within the gates, shreds of prayers lost to the barriers that alienated worlds. Some swore these whispers held truths, ancient and dangerous.
A brave few, led by desperation, sought to hear these fragments. Their expeditions were often doomed, their efforts swallowed by the energies' depth.
Yet, the murmurs persisted, a lingering reminder of the mysteries buried within the hexgates' essence.
Zaun's Unseen Hand
Within Zaun's grimy labyrinth, whispers drift through the throngs. They speak of a force, unseen and unrelenting, molding the city's destiny with subtle intent. The Unseen Hand operates, its tendrils entangling into every facet of Zaun being. From the illicit black markets to the hallowed halls of the Chem-Barons, its influence seeps deep. Few who are brave enough to challenge it vanish without a trace, swallowed by the city's hungry maw.
- Some say it is a clandestine organization of elite Zaunite inventors, driven by a vision for technological dominance.
- Others whisper of ancient, unhallowed rituals performed in the city's darkest corners, awakening slumbering entities with nefarious goals.
- And then there are those who believe it is something altogether more cosmic, an entity from beyond the veil seeking to claim Zaun as its own.
