Ghost Cities

Were the ruined remains of the once great cities and metropolises of the Ancients. They are looming reminders of the worlds distant past, as well as a major source of resources such as building materials and precious metals. Salvagers often established large salvage camps within ghost cities to remove these valuable materials from the ruins.

Often, new cities were founded within range of a ruined Ghost city, so that it could have an ample supply of building materials for new structures. In other cases the new cities were constructed directly on top of the ruins of the ancient cities, which their new urban fabrics melding around the decaying hulks of ancient skyscrapers. An example of this would be Pittzburro, which is constructed directly in the old city center of its ancient forerunner city, Pittsburgh.

Due to their shelter and often overgrown streets and alleyways, Ghost cities are often used as bases by raiders and bandits. Ghost cities have also been used as the site of many great ambushed during wars.
