Night
City
When the demonic beings called the D'Harque
invaded Earth, a dimensional rift was opened in the skies above Los
Angeles. The rift showed the skies above the D'Harque's homeworld, a
dimension of perpetual darkness. After the invasion was defeated by
Knight/Watch, the rift stayed overhead, shrouding part of the city with
its own zone of night. The alien, starlit sky depicted overhead never
changes, blocking out the sunlight. Local folks started calling the
affected area Night City.
Night City has become a magnet for odd and unusual beings
of all kinds: superhumans, mutants, sorcerers, demons, vampires, and
aliens. Criminals, smugglers, and lowlifes of all kinds congregrate
in the nightspots and alleyways.
