Alderhaven: The City Lives

Take a job, make friends, uncover secrets—or just live your life in a magitech city that never stops. Welcome to Alderhaven, a sprawling magitech metropolis where ancient Aetheric infrastructure supports towering districts, bustling transit networks, universities, industrial harbors, and neighborhoods built over centuries of forgotten history. Start with a simple contract, pursue a career, make friends, investigate a mystery, or walk away from it all and explore. Become a technician, researcher, performer, entrepreneur, investigator, or something nobody has a name for yet. The city has a life beyond your adventures. People have ambitions, responsibilities, relationships, and secrets. Jobs lead to opportunities, friendships can become lasting connections, and your decisions may reshape the lives around you. Explore everything from the prestigious Civic Core to the industrial waterfront, sprawling wetlands, ancient ruins, and the neon-lit Red District—where nightlife, entertainment, ordinary neighborhood life, and Redmarket's shadow economy exist side by side. Choose from Alderhaven's diverse animal peoples or experience the city through the extraordinary biology of the Opharyn. Beneath the city's prosperity lie aging magical systems, buried civilizations, and institutions with competing visions of the future. Follow those mysteries, build a business, find somewhere to belong, or simply enjoy an ordinary life in an extraordinary place. **Alderhaven doesn't revolve around you. But you can still change it.**
