"Silent City" Neo Alheim, a vertical abyss built on the ruins of the old world. Here, the neural cables of the elven nobles are connected to the World Tree Array, the mechanical prostheses of the dwarf craftsmen flow with the light of the furnace, and the human mercenaries rely on cheap combat enhancers to survive in the neon-lit slums. Magic and technology exist in a twisted symbiosis, data torrents and etheric whispers running through the same cables.
Wren, a "psychic hacker" struggling at the bottom, makes a living by eavesdropping on other people's emotions and memory fragments using cheap implants. A failed "soul stealing" allowed him to accidentally glimpse a piece of data echo from the abyss that should not have existed - it was not any known program, but the cold whisper of the old rulers. His neural interface was permanently burned by this crazy whisper, but it also allowed him to intermittently hear the "heartbeat" of the city and see the indescribable geometric shadows crawling behind the curtain of reality.
What's even more frightening is that the ancient existence seems to have sensed him through this connection...
