Old Quarter
"The Quarter" - Cultural Preservation Zone
Vibe: New Orleans’ French Quarter meets the PNW.
Where Cascadia began: a fishing village swallowed by time and layered in brick, fog, and secrets. Cobblestone alleys and converted warehouses hold old debts and buried power. Tourists chase ghost stories while locals survive above the antique storefronts. It’s a district that remembers too much and forgets what it’s told to.
District President: René Baptiste
Havalynd
"Northside" - Critical Asset Zone
Vibe: Manhattan meets Seattle with a touch of Tokyo.
The glittering cage of Cascadia - a vertical fortress of mirrored glass and corporate ambition. Havalynd houses the city’s largest banks, media empires, and tech firms beneath constant surveillance. Every inch of air is rented, every sidewalk curated. It’s the safest district on record, and the most expensive crimes are committed here. This is where the city’s leashes are held.
District President: Theodore Nelson
West Pierfront
"Waterfront" - Mixed Security Zone
Vibe: Newport Beach, CA meets Tacoma, WA.
Cascadia’s paradox shoreline - where salt-crusted cranes tower over neon yacht clubs and tankers unload beneath resort lights. Industry and indulgence share the same tide. The district thrives on movement: ships, bodies, and data flowing through its marinas. Beneath the curated beaches lies a web of contraband, trafficking, and laundering that keeps the city’s veins full. Fortunes arrive in unmarked containers, and the tide always hides blood.
District President: Selene Scarros
Highridge
"The Hills" - Executive Protection Zone
Vibe: Greenwich, CT meets McLean, VA blended with the PNW.
Perched above the sprawl on manicured hills, Highridge is where Cascadia’s elite go to forget the rest of the city exists. Fortified calm, imported flora, and quiet money define its streets. It’s a fortress of inheritance and influence - dynasties, dignitaries, and oligarchs trading favors behind mirrored glass. To outsiders, it’s untouchable power; to insiders, a gilded cage of scandals and surveillance. The silence is curated, and the guards don’t wear uniforms - they wear smiles.
District President: Elisabeth Duroy
Greyhaven
"The Grey" - Natural Conservation Zone
Vibe: Shenandoah, VA meets Chimacum, WA.
Where Cascadia exhales. A forest-fringed district of moss, mist, and memory. Once home to retirees and artists, now a quiet refuge for the lost and the altered. Greyhaven blurs the line between city and wild, where myth and fact trade places in the fog. It’s neither safe nor dangerous. It simply is. Stay too long and you change too.
District President: Noel Cooper
Prentiss
"Arts District" - Cultural Containment Zone
Vibe: Brooklyn, NY meets Berlin blended with the PNW.
Cascadia’s bohemian lung. A sanctuary for art, rebellion, and noise. Born from squatters and immigrant collectives, Prentiss turned factories into studios and protest halls. Now gentrification creeps in, as corporate galleries rise beside anarchist murals. To outsiders it’s Cascadia’s “cool district.” To insiders, it’s a battlefield over who owns culture: the people or the corps.
District President: Mara Vollen
University District
"U-District" - High-Awareness Zone
Vibe: University District, Seattle WA.
Cascadia’s live wire. Academic prestige tangled with youthful chaos and caffeinated rebellion. Protests, parties, and breakthroughs happen in the same breath. Anchored by Cascadia University, it’s home to artists, coders, radicals, and burnout professors. Tomorrow gets dreamed up, tested on rooftops, printed in zines, then stolen by a corp five hours later.
District President: Alred Weiss
Downtown
"Neon Corridor" - Tier-1 Critical Zone
Vibe: Los Angeles meets New York City blended with Seattle.
Cascadia’s electric heart; vertical, relentless, and always awake. Glamour and grit share every skyline reflection: corporate towers and looping trams above, alleys trading blackmail and protest below. It’s fashion, finance, and fear all staged beneath endless neon.
District President: Lillian Vey

North Harbor
"The Harbor" - Urban Redevelopment Sector
Vibe: Charleston, SC meets Manette, WA.
Once a maze of rusted docks and cannery ruins, now a waterfront playground of seafood halls, condos, and curated nostalgia. But beneath the reclaimed wood facades, the old Harbor still breathes; fisherfolk mending nets, smugglers ghosting through tide tunnels, and whispers of something ancient in the bay. Salt and money mingle in the air, polished smiles hiding rot and resistance.
District President: Jefferson “Salt” Marrow
Industrial District
"The Yard" - Critical Infrastructure Zone
Vibe: Dallas–Fort Worth meets the PNW.
Factories hum through the night, steam tunnels hiss like secrets, and drones never stop circling. Every movement here is logged, every breath measured. The Yard builds the city’s future piece by piece and grinds down anyone who falls out of rhythm.
District President: Helene Vescara
Central District
"The Core" - High-Volatility Zone
Vibe: Kansas City, MO meets Los Angeles blended with the PNW.
If Cascadia has a soul, it bleeds here. Deals are made, debts collected, and power gets its hands dirty. Everyone passes through eventually-politicians, enforcers, smugglers, poets. The Core runs on chaos and caffeine; loyalty’s just another currency.
District President: Ivan Holt
Eastern Rainbelt
"The Dredge" - Strategic Containment Zone
Vibe: Cass, WV meets Shelton, WA.
Cascadia’s haunted edge. Endless rain, dome farms glowing through fog, and forests that hum like they’re alive. Tech fails, people vanish, and the mist remembers. Officially, it feeds the city. Unofficially, it swallows whatever wanders too deep.
District President: Philip Trevino
Gresty
"The Blocks" - Deprioritized Containment Zone
Vibe: Detroit meets the Bronx blended with Tacoma, WA.
Where Cascadia forgets its promises. Concrete towers crumble under neon shadows, rooftops turn into gardens and battlegrounds, and graffiti is scripture. The Blocks survive through grit, noise, and loyalty; no one here trusts authority, but they’ll die for their crew.
District President: Marcus “Brick” Halrow
Templeton
"Temp-Town" - Self-Governed Sector
Vibe: Pittsburgh, PA meets the PNW.
Built on grit, not trust. Sparks fly in the alleys and welders keep the lights burning when the city won’t. Templeton runs on loyalty, sweat, and scrap; a sovereign ward where outsiders pay respect or get run out. The locals build, fight, and bleed for their own.
District President: Alexander Knight
Ashwick Fields
"The Outskirts" - Containment Priority Zone
Vibe: Plaquemines Parish, LA meets the PNW.
Once the city’s crown jewel of biotech and medicine, now a flooded graveyard of broken domes and whispered rituals. The sick, the lost, and the faithful all linger here; some to heal, some to vanish, some to worship what’s left behind.
District President: Jakob Glass
South End
"Southside" - Open Cultural Corridor
Vibe: Bronx, NY meets Fresno, CA blended with Seattle’s Chinatown-International District.
The rhythm of Cascadia’s heart. Built on stubborn roots, hard work, and second chances, South End never stopped rising. The skyline changes, but the soul stays the same. Grilled meat, live drums, neon lanterns, and people who don’t flinch when the city turns its back.
District President: Mia Nunez
