Lowers

"Lowers" is the term used for the residents of Halcyon who reside in the lower levels of the city, where the radiation seeping in from the surface is at its weakest. The Lowers are by far the richest and most powerful inhabitants of the city, holding command over the entire city and the allocation of its resources. They serve as the governing force for those above, referred to as the Uppers, who have fought several rebellions against them in an attempt to take control over the Lowers' resources.
