Districts

**The City** is split into 26 **Districts**, each of which is governed by a Wing and have varying and unique cultures. Each District is split into a Nest, which is land directly governed by a Wing, and the Backstreets, expansive spaces of wilderness and slums, held under the rule of the Five Fingers. Each District has completely different forms of cultures and social norms. However, Districts do tend to have similarities to their neighbors, and are split and grouped into the North, South, East, and West Districts. There is no shown District 26, despite 26 being the number always given as the amount of Districts.

## District 11

Owned by K Corp., this district is known for its production of its Ampoules, small healing vials that are produced by their Singularity, the Tearful Thing. The Nest showcases a high level of security, requiring a large amount of paperwork to enter. Among several locations, Calw, Sinclair's hometown, is one visited by the Sinners during the midst of its destruction at the hands of the N Corp. Inquisition. It is the Primary location of Canto III, Intervallo 1, and Canto IV.

## District 12

A district previously owned by L Corp., better known as Lobotomy Corporation. Following the fall of this Wing prior, it became disputed land fought for by many major factions, with the Library in the center of it all. Prior to its fall, this district caused the creation of branches used to disperse energy to other Wings, something which now houses the Golden Boughs.

The current state of the district is unknown.

## District 18

District 18 is owned by R Corp., wherein the group manufactures cloned super soldiers through the process of selectively choosing combatants that survive a culling process, shown through R Corp. 4th Pack Rhino Meursault's Uptie 3 story.

## District 20

District 20 is controlled by T Corp., also known as "TimeTrack", a corporation in control of time through close work with W Corp. This district is shown during the Golden Bough in K Corp. Nest's resonance, featuring several workers with a steampunk aesthetic, as well as being bathed in a monochrome filter, something mentioned by Yi Sang as an attempt to take away the individuality of those within the Backstreets.

## District 21

District 21 is owned by U Corp., and is a district covered largely by The Great Lake, a massive and divided lake that features unique biomes and laws within each portion. Within this lake are massive, parasitic creatures known as Whales, along with 'The Five Calamities', five major Whales that travel freely, with The Pallid Whale seen directly. This district connects directly to the Outskirts. It is the primary location of Canto V.

## District 22

District 22 is owned by V Corp., shown briefly in *Library of Ruina,* and much more prominently in *Leviathan.* It carries great relevance to Vergilius, though has yet to be shown in-game.

## District 23

District 23, owned by W Corp., also known as WARP Corp., is a major hub to the technologies of its associated Wing, such as the prominent warp trains. Its Singularity allows for the creation of a near-instantaneous teleportation of those on the train through the modification of time, before using clean-up agents to restore those onboard through the use of a "save point". It is said to have a prominence of cannibalism within its Backstreets, evidenced by Pierre's Bistro, a faction from *Library of Ruina* referenced through associated Sinner Identities, namely R.B. Chef de Cuisine Ryōshū and R.B. Sous-Chef Gregor.
