Attica

Jagged steel-and-glass mountain city crowning seven peaks like icy thorn crowns. Bridges connect peaks with lesser wards at snow-dusted bases.

Attica debuts in Golden Son as a jagged steel-and-glass mountain stronghold crowning seven peaks, its icy thorn-like spires linked by precarious bridges to snow-dusted lower wards, establishing it as a formidable strategic citadel on Mars. Though direct descriptions vanish in later volumes, the city evolves into a recurring geopolitical flashpoint whose control shapes the Rising's momentum. By Morning Star it becomes a besieged stronghold whose fall accelerates the fall of Gold power structures, while in Dark Age its ruins and contested peaks underscore the brutal fragmentation of post-revolution society. Across the saga, Attica transforms from an architectural symbol of Gold supremacy into a battered emblem of the cost of rebellion and the enduring fight for Mars's future.
