Old Town

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

In the Red Rising Saga, Old Town debuts in Iron Gold as a grungy district within Hyperion on Luna, defined by its numbered streets, blackmarket shops, and thriving criminal underbelly amid high foot traffic. This seedy locale underscores the enduring social fractures and illicit economies that survive the fall of the Golds and the rise of the Solar Republic, serving as a gritty counterpoint to the new order's promises. Its portrayal deepens the series' world-building by exposing how old-world shadows persist in the capital's underclass.
