Midori Gardens

Midori Gardens is a pastoral region of Yeddo though most of its landscape is not natural. In the distant past, Midori Gardens used to be large, complex series of aeroponics bays that would supply all matter of crops such as fruits, vegetables and wheat. During the events preceding the Blackout, these structures were destroyed, and the seeds of the cultivated plants scattered about, allowing nature to reclaim large portions of the city. The most striking features of Midori Gardens are its skyscrapers that have been completely overtaken by foliage making them superficially resemble large, vine-covered trees. The plants are from the former aeroponics bays were recultivated by the Federation although this time, into farms where the crops were directly planted into the natural soil.

Additionally, older sewer systems that had their pipes exposed above ground became the source of various water features such as lakes and rivers. Previously extinct species of fish that were recreated with genetic engineering can be found here from trout to salmon.

One of the most notable predators native to the region is the Ferogator, a species from the Crocodilia order that adapted specifically to Yeddo's ruined urban environment. They have one of the most powerful bite forces on the planet at over 4,000 PSI. Although incredibly dangerous and known for actively hunting humans, they are somewhat easily repelled by house cats.

Ruins of Petraphos

The Ruins of Petraphos are located in a swampy region near Midori Gardens. While today, it is flooded with swamp water and industrial runoff, in its prime, it was a prosperous city. It was established as a settlement while Babylon was still under construction. Its most notable feature is Pyramis-Petrophos, a large temple in the shape of a pyramid. It is believed to have served as a place of meditation as well as a place where one could interpret the information stored within a Valerian data crystal.

As a landmark in virtual reality technology, the University of Oraulan created a simulation of Petraphos as it may have looked like in its prime to the highest degree of accuracy currently available at the time.
