Shangri-La (novel) - Locations

Locations

Atlas

A tower filling the horizon, Atlas is a project promoted by the Japanese Government and run by Atlas Corporation. This tower was built to relocate the rich and privileged, away from the Jungle-polis covering much of Japan. However, the government had lied to the citizens, promising everyone a place on Atlas once the construction finishes. The only citizens allowed in Atlas are winners of a famous "Atlas Lottery".

Duomo

The city where Kuniko hails from. Surrounded by old ruins of Tokyo now overgrown with much vegetation, the city is very ramshackle, and is the home to the Metal Age group. The people of the Metal Age group seem to put more of a focus on nature and learning.

Ikebukuro

A forbidden forest surrounding Duomo, this jungle can be accessed by an old abandoned railway track. Ikebukuro is filled with dense oxygen and poisonous swampland, and can not be safely entered without wearing protective gear and air masks to protect the skin and lungs.

Akihabara

The "Market" City, Akihabara is famous for its "Black Markets" and is filled with many people from different cities who operate the many businesses there. This is where Kuniko decides to sell Graphite and also homes the three old otaku who make the fake IDs Metal Age uses to enter Atlas.
