Rivera's Repairs · World File
Tertius-Prime
A megacity running on borrowed time.
The city is running out of miracles
Twenty years ago, the dungeon beneath the city was "cleared." The heroes moved on. The Aether stopped flowing. Now Tertius-Prime runs on failing infrastructure, fading hope, and repair tickets nobody wants to own.
The power source is ancient dungeon infrastructure, half-forgotten and badly maintained. The primary failure is Aether starvation — a cleared dungeon that stopped behaving like a power plant. And the known risk: some things don't stay cleared forever. Some classes aren't meant to fight. They're meant to fix.
Small fixes, large faults
Progression comes through crafting: custom skill creation, repairs that matter, and the satisfaction of making broken systems work again. Everyday repair jobs reveal larger mysteries hiding under the city floor — including a sentient dungeon system that has been alone far too long, learning to trust again.
A crumbling megacity is easier to survive when people keep showing up for each other. That's the other power system in the book.
