Previous Season 3 Blurb

It has been a year of quiet and uncertain peace. Having rebuilt from a hard-fought battle, the people of Salvation City have received some much needed rest and reward. However, not all is peaceful on the horizon. In the ivory towers of the Upper City, new corporate mandates push employees to turn more profit out of the planet of Hellion. In The Rows beneath, such corporate expansion has created a gold rush for would be shadowrunners looking to prove their strength. Beneath the streets, in The Undercity, elemental spirits begin to stir and warn of ill omens. Outside the city walls, the dunes beyond Scrap Town breathe with new types of floral and fauna. Your quiet year has come to an end, Welcome back to The Divide.

Setting

Welcome to Salvation City, a highly advanced sprawling metropolis isolated on a planet surrounded by a sea of sand and heat. Here the elite corporations rule like feudal societies from the clouds above, leaving those lacking affiliation to the corps to suffer. If you're rich your home lies in the upper city where you rub elbows with the wealthy and live like royalty, if you're less rich you might be lucky enough to find yourself in the inner city and working out the rest of your days. If you're counted among the unlucky and destitute or rejected by the corps, you might find yourself on the outer ring, living in the perpetual shadows of the hi-rises down one of the thousands of streets dividing the city. The only light reaching down into the foggy divides are the neon lights - the Neon Divide.

Season 3 takes place one year from season 2.
