Babylon: The Hidden Masterpiece

 Babylon is a breathtaking marvel of engineering and human ambition, born from the vision of Justar Riveaux, one of the most brilliant minds of the Forn Sior era. Conceived as a sanctuary of survival, innovation, and knowledge, Babylon was built deep beneath the surface, hidden from the eyes of the world. It represents a monumental achievement, combining cutting-edge technology, ecological balance, and a profound understanding of human needs.

At its heart lies a glowing, bioluminescent lake, a serene yet vital centerpiece that illuminates the city’s seven descending levels. These levels, meticulously crafted in concentric harmony, house lush hydroponic gardens, elegant residences, advanced laboratories, and a core dedicated to the powerful AI known as LUCY. This omnipresent AI governs Babylon, ensuring the sustainability of its resources, the balance of its ecosystems, and the continuity of its population—10,000 inhabitants cloned every 50 years.

The city was designed not only to sustain life but to preserve humanity’s collective history. On a central island within the lake stands the Arca Mundi, a towering library containing every known piece of human knowledge: the chronicles of wars, ancient legends, scientific breakthroughs, and cultural treasures. This repository of wisdom is a beacon of hope and learning, accessible to all inhabitants of Babylon.

Babylon’s isolation is its greatest strength and mystery. Its exact location remains unknown, and its existence is fiercely protected. Even within the Forn Sior saga, Harkan Varlo, leader of the enigmatic Magisterium, relentlessly searches for this elusive sanctuary, believing it holds secrets capable of shifting the balance of power.

More than just a city, Babylon is a testament to humanity’s ingenuity and its pursuit of perfection—a hidden utopia where technology and nature coexist in flawless symbiosis. It is a grand legacy of Justar Riveaux, a refuge for knowledge, art, and culture, and a symbol of hope in a fragmented world. Its origins and purpose remain shrouded in secrecy, leaving the rest of the world to wonder: does Babylon truly exist, or is it a myth crafted to inspire?
