The Railyard is located in this district and as such much of the city's destitute population finds shelter and acceptance here.

It features a diverse mix of commercial and cultural attractions, including trendy boutiques, restaurants, museums, galleries, theatres, and concert halls.

The district also hosts seasonal events and festivals, such as outdoor concerts and street fairs, and is easily accessible by public transportation.

While less dense than the city center, the suburbs offer opportunities for education, employment, and recreation, making it a great place to raise a family or seek a quieter pace of life.
Bathala City is the centre of much of the superhero activity of the 21st century, earning it the nickname "The Home of Heroes" even though there are statistically more villains in the city proper. Built on the coast by merchants and sailors in the early 1200's, Bathala and to a lesser extent, its sister city Salanas across the harbour, has always been a place where history happens. Something of a melting pot of different cultures and walks of life, the various peoples living within the city borders range from exceedingly wealthy business moguls up in Bathala Heights, to the dregs of society living in the slums and the Railyard.
