Place · Book 2, Carl's Doomsday Scenario

The Over City

The third floor, named once in the first book, when Zev tells Carl that 'once you do hit the over city' he will need something compelling. She says the third, sixth and ninth floors are linked in a way that will later become clear, and that they all come into existence at the same time.

Arc

Introduced in ch. 3: villages, ruins, guards, day and night, a volcano story with Scolopendra at the bottom, printed NPCs who believe it. The book covers a small village, a circus in a park, thirty-four kilometres of road, and a medium skyfowl settlement — and ends with 45 square kilometres of it nearly flattened (ch. 24, ch. 25).
