Brookfell

Name: Brookfell
Population: Estimated 700k
City Themes: Orange- Scrap-built mining town.

Local Climate: Brookfell is built in the middle of the desert, and its climate naturally reflects that.
It is hot and dry though can become humid in some underground tunnels. Just like in real-world deserts, the nights can become harshly cold.  

Local Fauna: Brookfell isn’t as dry and dead as it appears to be.
There are many species of drought-tolerant plants that can thrive in the desert environment.
Cacti, succulents, and various dry shrubs litter the sand that bloom and come to life in the rare rains. 

Culture: The original culture of Brookfell was replaced by what it is today. A general free for all.

Architecture: Brookfell’s architecture is that there's no specific style.
While there is a clear divide between upper Brookfell and Lower Brookfell every building is made in the image (and funding) of its creator.
There is no ‘style’ to be mindful of when it comes to planning permission, people usually just do what they want here,
or what they can with the resources at hand. While that may seem unorganized- it creates a style of its own.

History: Brookmine was founded by one of the King's children blessed by Guardian Groudon.
They built their city around a rich node of resources in the desert which became their sole export and income through extensive mining programs which they were very proud of.
The sudden wealth they gained funded their city through their ruler at the time neglected long-term plans and expanded the city beyond what their resources could support.
When the collapse happened it caused a lot of the city to be lost into the center of the spiral mine, Brookmine wasn’t instantly renamed but it did start the decline of the city.
Wealth ran dry, the people who called this place their home started to riot, and instead of facing responsibility their ruler vanished.
Over time Brookmine was renamed Brookfell by its citizens as that era marks when their city didn’t just fall physically, the whole city fell into ruin.
The people left behind without their ruler did the best they could but with little money to afford to leave the city, they had to make do with what they had. 

Brookfell eventually managed to take root again thanks to its persistent citizens though it would never be the same.
Over time it has become a ‘Crime City’ where anything goes. Authorities are present but struggle to keep any kind of hold.
‘Upper’ Brookfell refers to the city around the rim of the massive crater- this is often the most funded part as it was originally built by the richest of Brookell to ‘look down on’ the lower levels.
It is considered the ‘safest’ part of Brookfell as it actually has some form of authority. 

Lower Brookfell is separated in status by the rings of the mine, the higher up you are in the levels the ‘richer’ you are overall.
The further down you go and the more shady and illegal things you will find. People make use of the old mine shafts and dug-out rock to take residence, turning them into small underground homes. 

History Since Outbreak: The only difference now is that the people fighting for survival down in lawless wastes were fused and fighting with elements they could barely control.
It caused an increase in police forces in the upper rings but Lower Brookfell was still considered too risky to properly patrol.
New dealings and money-making schemes prospered as illegal fused meat and rare Pokemon are sold on black markets underground.
