Zockau

The sixth floor’s single named metropolis, in the north over a low-level training valley: a 1950s mid-century-modern town of bear-headed guards, pubs and a Desperado Club, all under hunter control. When the floor opens, a hunter murders the city’s NPC leader to claim the title ‘Grand,’ and the guards turn red, attacking crawlers on sight. The Hunters are sequestered here through the 30-hour grace period, getting drunk before the Hunt; it holds one of the floor’s unguarded stairwells to the seventh floor.
