Shooting City
Shooting City stands as one of the most unusual metropolitan centers in the known world, having been purpose-built as an expansive testing and training facility for Vortech Industry's weapons and ballistic innovations. The city's layout defies conventional urban planning, with its streets, buildings, and public spaces strategically designed to accommodate live-fire exercises and weapons demonstrations across multiple ranges and caliber specifications. Founded approximately two centuries ago, Shooting City has evolved from a modest armory outpost into a thriving settlement where residents have adapted their daily lives around the constant thunder of gunfire and explosive testing. The architecture reflects this unique purpose, featuring reinforced structures, blast-resistant materials, and observation platforms integrated into residential and commercial buildings. Vortech Industry maintains strict control over the city's operations, employing rigorous safety protocols and designated firing schedules that govern when residents can venture into different districts. The culture of Shooting City is distinctly martial, with its inhabitants taking great pride in their association with weapons craftsmanship and ballistic excellence, attracting skilled gunsmiths, engineers, and military specialists from across the realm. Natural features have been deliberately modified to serve as backdrop berms and impact zones, while the surrounding landscape bears the distinctive scars of centuries of weapons testing. Despite its industrial purpose, Shooting City has developed a unique identity, hosting annual competitions and demonstrations that draw dignitaries and weapon enthusiasts from distant lands.

Landmarks
The Ricochet Labyrinth
A massive underground bunker complex featuring a maze of interconnected testing chambers with walls scarred by countless bullet impacts and blast marks. The labyrinth was designed to study projectile behavior in confined spaces, but adventurers now navigate its twisted corridors filled with unexploded ordnance, automated defense systems still partially operational, and strange acoustic phenomena caused by the unique geometry of the blast-scarred walls. Hidden throughout are observation decks, data vaults containing weapons research, and sections where the structural integrity has been compromised by repeated testing.
The Shattered Observation Tower
A towering structure of reinforced steel and blast-resistant glass that once served as the primary command center for weapons testing operations. Now partially collapsed on one side, its upper levels are riddled with bullet holes and scorch marks from decades of stray fire. The interior contains scattered control panels, targeting computers, and observation logs detailing countless weapons tests. Adventurers can climb the precarious remaining sections to gain a vantage point over the entire city, though the unstable framework and exposed gaps make it a dangerous ascent. The tower's basement level is sealed behind a heavy vault door, rumored to contain classified records of the most destructive weapons ever tested here.
