Agea
Futuristic capital city of Mars rising like a garden of jewelswords in the night. Features rooftop nightclubs with flickering lights, dance floors of condensed air, and elegant towering structures. Nestled within Valles Marineris.
Agea, the glittering capital of Mars, transforms from a distant, almost mythical jewel of the Golds' empire in Red Rising into the battered heart of the Republic by the later books. Once a symbol of opulent tyranny with its sky-scraping towers and condensed-air dance floors, it becomes both a strategic prize and a vulnerable target as the Rising fractures the old order. By Dark Age and Light Bringer, Agea is the Republic’s embattled seat of power—its skyline still dazzling, yet its plazas now echo with the clash of civil war and the looming threat of the Society’s return.
