New Alexandria crowned the southern region of the Mannard continent, a sprawling metropolis stretching 60 kilometers from the northwestern coastline. Founded in 2940 by survivors seeking refuge, the city rose from the ashes of "the criminal phase"—a" turbulent era spanning 130 years when unchecked human powers bred chaos and violence.
The city's promise of safety drew refugees from across the continent, though they soon discovered conflict had followed in their wake. Criminal factions, some still operating in shadows beyond the blackguards' reach, sank their roots deep into New Alexandria's foundation.
The economic boom of the 2950s transformed the city. As wealth poured in, so did opportunists from the emerging nation of Frant. Criminal enterprises flourished, their leaders flaunting their success through grand palaces, soaring skyscrapers, and opulent villas. Some grew so powerful they shaped entire districts, their ill-gotten gains funding architectural marvels.
