Seraph City

Seraph City, Arizona is a fictional city in Aftersight, and the central area where its events take place. It was founded in 1989 and was originally intended to annex Phoenix in order to accomodate the massive inflow of tourism and immigration from nearby states. The city grew massively in the late 2000s after the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry realized its immense potential and finally authorized its expansion further away from Phoenix in 2002. Ultimately, the project did not generate enough tourist revenue to justify the amount of funds that were spent on the city's expanse, and as a result, NERI was formed - and with it, a new political structure for the Verge,

NERI quickly seized control of all traffic, both illicit and common, as well as immigration, and placed only a small percentage of the city's government grant toward enforcing the newly enacted laws against the use and trafficking of Osiris, which was their proposed purpose. They accomplished this, in large part, by building a hulking 19.7 GW generator located within the city's substructure; its purpose was to power and sustain a massive energy force field surrounding and enclosing the entire city. This would later become familiarly known, by both the public and NERI alike, as the Quantum Barrier - it allowed both NERI and police forces to much more effectively, if less conveniently, regulate unsanctioned traffic and delivery of cargo shipments to and from the city.

As the economy began to degrade even further in the late 2000's, Seraph City rapidly began devolving into what many described as a haven for violent crime, flagrant sexuality and widespread corporate reign.

Seraph City is represented by its logo of a nude, featureless, long-haired woman with three pairs of insect-like wings.
