We all live in an immense endless tower. There is a Floor 1, but it isn't the ground floor. No one has found the ground in a while. No one knows how high this tower goes either, countless secrets, eldritch knowledge, and horrors lie below Floor Zero, going into the negative floors. Amazing wonders await in the upper floors, thousands to millions of floors up. The floors are not uniform in size, some are bigger than others.
Floor zero is an expansive and dense city of 200,000 square miles in area. Factions and warlords own and control parts of the city.
As one ascends the positive floors, a sense of enlightenment follows, with some individuals returning from floors ranging into the quadrillions even claiming to have seen the face of creation. However the opposite occurs with the negative floors, with further descent beckoning corruption of the mind, although there are some areas of solace, comfort, and benignity in the negative floors.
