New Everlight is a hodge-podge of a city. Concord Square is a dense, vertical metropolis dominated by towering skyscrapers. Neon lights illuminate the streets of The Neon Quarter. Everlight Commons offers rare moments of nature amid the chaos of the rest of the city. Art Deco building and Spanish style homes style the neighborhoods The Gilded Mile creating a unique blend of architectural diversity. Urban flats is a contingent of happy little brownstones lining the streets. Elysium Heights shimmers with neon lights that outshine the sun, the bustle and move at all hours. Runestone plaza filled with brick-clad greystones, industrial lofts and historic bungalows. The Ironworks is a striking contrast from the rest of the city with its industrial grit. The Ivory Ward is known for its progressive spirt, intellectual energy and the eclectic culture and sometimes weird things happen around Ashcroft University. The Twilight Row lies in decay while the rest of the city thrives.

History
The Revelation
On July 4, 1984 magic was revealed to the world through a televised broadcast when magic transported a young boy into Everlight Commons Park breaking the veil between worlds and a tiny portion of the Wyld erupted through the rift created before the boy returned home. After which during the remaining chaos a Dragon took flight revealing the existence of the Drakari. This event became know as The Revelation.
After the Revelation, the Ferai began searching for more power and magic and tore a rift into The Nether.
