During Steelheart's fit of rage, he transformed most of lake Michigan, the city, and much of the underground into solid steel. The upper class and party members live above, while peasants live in a network of caverns and factories underground. A group of epics dug these tunnels, but went insane and eventually the tunnels became erratic and impossible to navigate. It is in these tunnels that the Reckoners have one of their hideouts. David Charleston grew up in a weapons factory there.
