⚫ | During Steelheart's fit of rage, he transformed most of lake Michigan, the city, and much of the underground into solid steel. The upper class and party members live above, while peasants live in a network of caverns and factories underground. A group of epics dug these tunnels, but went insane and eventually the tunnels became erratic and impossible to navigate. It is in these tunnels that the Reckoners have on of their hideouts. David Charleston grew up in a factory there. |

⚫ | Newcago is one of few locations left in america that still has running water, infrastructure, electricity, food, and a police force. Even though it was ruled under the oppressive regime of Steelheart, people flocked to it, even if they lived in poor conditions. The police force is known as enforcement and is well equipped. |
