Agea

Story so far

Agea is the capital city of Mars, rising in the night at the center of the Valles Marineris — the largest canyon in the Solar System, its walls eight kilometers high and cloaked in green flora. A garden of jewelswords, its rooftops flicker with nightclubs, air dancefloors made of condensed atmosphere, gravMixers, and noiseBubbles sealing block from block; life there is fast and cheap. The citadel of ArchGovernor Nero-au-Augustus stands within it.

Beyond the night districts, built into the canyon's tidal-wave walls of green stone, sits the Institute itself — white Roman columns and sculpture where Darrow arrives among a thousand Golds beneath the hanging fleets of the Armada of Mars.

Appearance
