Spider City
This city represents everything abhorrent to most Fera. It is a titanic glass-and-steel-and-neon construct embodying Urban Life in the postindustrial world. The city is a seemingly endless maze of concrete and chrome, plastic and glass. Its web-shrouded towers stretch up and up, seemingly for miles; the higher in Spider City you live, the higher your status in the hierarchy of the Weaver. The city itself is laid out in a vast web pattern, stretching far into a sky that's eternally the color of a television monitor tuned to a dead channel. Its upper levels blaze with a rainbow spectrum of neon, while its lower levels are shrouded in darkness. Weaver-spirits of all sorts scuttle like ants through the city's towers, alleys, hallways, and corridors, scurrying hither and yon on mysterious errands. In Spider City, technology reigns supreme. This realm houses technology inaccessible outside the realms of certain technologically adept sorcerers. Hovercars glide along elevated roads, and maglev trains cruise into gleaming stations. Robots powered by liquescent spirit-data, or "juice," prowl the hallways and corridors. In hidden alcoves, secret labs pump out all manner of bizarre and deadly weaponry. Spider City is divided into three levels: Old Town (street level), Downtown (the middle layer), and Uptown (the skyscraper-realm of the elite). Under all of this stretches the Pit.

Other life does not seem welcome nor present, it is noted that even Fera are met with hostility, with the noted exception of 'Ananasa's brood'. This may be overcome with a Fetish known as an 'ID Card', which masks the attuned user as a resident of the city.
