Old Town

Grungy district within Hyperion featuring numbered streets, blackmarket shops, and a seedy underbelly. High foot traffic and criminal elements.

Old Town emerges in Iron Gold as Hyperion's gritty underbelly, a numbered-street maze of black-market stalls and criminal enterprise that serves as both refuge and danger for the city's disenfranchised. Its seedy reputation and high foot traffic make it a natural crossroads for spies, rebels, and outcasts navigating the post-Society power vacuum. Across the series, Old Town evolves from a mere backdrop of urban decay into a strategic nexus where the war for the Republic's soul is fought in shadows and alleyways.
