Life persists, even when surrounded by a mysterious and corrosive red ocean. In the Null, people get together to make small island towns to survive their circumstances. Carving small pieces of paradise, they all have unique stories and appearances.
The sandswept, windy town of Lámpara, neighboring the massive Bretish Library, is one such example. Formerly a place famed for its work with clay and expeditions into the mysterious nearby library, an evacuation notice due to a certain maestra has reduced it to a hastily-emptied ghost town.
It is a place with its humble share of advanced technology, mainly being elevators, announcement speakers and hologram billboards given out by the BSR. Anything that makes life in the Null either easier or more pleasant is very welcome.
Towns in HEARTRENDER are a major recurring component of exploration. They're where you find a fair share of resources and information for the harder parts of your heists. If you can survive any resistance likely to be found in them, that is.
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
