Most of Earth is inhospitable to human life due to centuries of war (starting with the Neo-Crusades, the Global Cold Boot era, and specifically the devastating Transcendence War) thus necessitating a single “city state” that evolved to protect and isolate the remaining population. As time passed the Spire and Tangle continued to grow, as most Citizens did not have the means to leave Earth.

With the exception of the Spokes, most avenues, streets, and walkways are so deeply recessed in the structures that often natural light rarely filters down to ground level. With the exception of the Verdant CourtIn 2477 CE it was determined by Crats within the Terran Techspire that the citizens of the Tangle needed more than Infinispace to keep them distracted from the ravages of the Zone outside the Barrier,...
