A sprawling maze of dust-choked alleys, leaning shacks, and crowded markets pressed beneath the wealth of the city above. The slums are harsh, noisy, and alive with barter, hunger, vice, and stubborn resilience, where survival is earned daily and hope survives mostly out of spite. Beneath the grime and desperation runs its own order: gangs, traders, scavengers, and forgotten people who know every shadow, shortcut, and secret worth selling.
