View source for Emerald City

Emerald City is the analogue for Seattle in [[Terra Acerba]], the setting for [[Darkness in the Emerald City]]. On the surface it looks just like Seattle and its environs, but all of the peoples names have been changed. The neighborhoods look the same, but there are more of the [[Tong]] in the International District, and that Lexus SUV in Bellevue might be full of [[Yakuza]].
