Neontide Bay

@neontide_bay

Neon above, myth below, crime in between.

mythic urban noir · modern era · year 2026

A gritty coastal megacity where neon, crime and old myths overlap. Container ports and rooftop shrines, syndicate-run arcades, fog that remembers names, sea-gods taking payment in favors. Everyone owes somebody something.

The story of Neontide Bay

The city runs on three currencies: money, favors and stories. Old myths are real enough to bargain with; syndicates keep uneasy truces with things older than the harbor.

Places

  • Neontide Bay · city. A sprawling coastal megacity defined by vertical tiers and relentless rain.
  • Container Port · region. A labyrinthine, industrial jungle of rusted steel and flickering surveillance lights.
  • Old Temple Quarter · region. The sunken foundations of the original fishing village, now choked with dense, sentient fog.
