 Apex is theoretically supposed to supply Shadow with light using the giant floodlights attached to the underside, but many of these are broken or in poor repair. Apex is theoretically supposed to supply Shadow with light using the giant floodlights attached to the underside, but many of these are broken or in poor repair.

In Shadow, they're known as the Floating Cities. They get their light by interposing themselves between Apex's floodlights and the ground.

 +==Rumors== 
 +  * Old skyscrapers. 
 +  * There are mutants -- people who aren't quite Human. 
 +  * The Singulon believe that Dark Information, an unknown but valuable knowledge, is somewhere in Shadow. 
 +  * Their closeness to the earth gives them more strength/physicality. Spending time down there makes you brutish. 
 +  * Sometimes, they try to reach higher than their city would support — teetering towers that try to reach Apex, but fall or get knocked down.

 +====The City Below==== 
 +Below shadow is a network of old subway and monorail tunnels, with what used to be stations expanded into small cities. These communities have populations in the thousands to tens of thousands, and trade along the empty and dangerous tunnels between them. 
 + 
 +====The Depths==== 
 +Below the subway tunnels are the Depths, said to be the source of magic. Little is known about them. 
 + 
 +====Paradise==== 
 +The "sky" of Apex is the floor of Paradise, which extends another two miles, its own ceiling held up by enormous pillars. The people of Paradise are controlled when needed by chips implanted in their brains, but most of the time, they have some semblance of free will. Paradise maintains the light-bending technology of Apex which gives them the illusion of night and day, and keeps Apex running when any intervention is needed. In turn, Paradise is watched over by Control.

 +====Control==== 
 +Nothing is known yet about the level above Paradise.
