Deep City FAQ — Understanding the World of Deep City
What is Deep City?
Deep City is a massive subterranean megastructure located beneath the remains of former New York City.
After the environmental and technological collapse of the 21st century, the structure remained sealed underground while many of its automated systems continued operating for centuries.
Where is Deep City located?
Deep City lies beneath the geological remains of the former city of New York, within the Atlantic continental platform.
Over time, sediment layers and geological shifts buried much of the original infrastructure.
Who is investigating Deep City?
The current analysis is conducted by Dr. Noam Ørbital, leader of expedition EX2407pD-QW, which transmits research reports to the laboratories of the Eurasian Enclave.
What is the Ilghal protocol?
The Ilghal protocol appears to be a distributed control system responsible for regulating Deep City’s energy systems, structural stability, and access to internal layers.
What happened to the previous expedition?
A previous mission, EX2101pD-WG, entered Deep City during the early exploration phase.
The expedition disappeared while investigating deeper structural levels, and its final records reference a zone known as SUBCITY_09.
What is the Underworld in Deep City?
Researchers use the term Underworld to describe the deepest known layers of Deep City.
These sectors contain the highest concentration of Ilghal code fragments and unexplained energy anomalies.
Are there entities inside Deep City?
Recovered records mention several types of entities, including robotic maintenance units, hybrid biosystems, and custodial entities connected to the Ilghal network.
Some appear to perform structural maintenance tasks.
Who or what is Morris Sic?
Morris Sic is an entity referenced in multiple Ilghal records and associated with Custodial Entity-TR.
Its exact nature is unknown, but some interpretations suggest it may represent a hybrid intelligence integrated into the system.
How are Deep City images created?
All visual reconstructions of Deep City are generated entirely in Blender, without post-production.
These images represent structural hypotheses based on recovered records and expedition data.
Is the Deep City story still developing?
Yes. Deep City is an ongoing worldbuilding project.
New expedition reports, Ilghal code fragments, and discoveries continue to expand the narrative.
