Heichland Arcology

Heichland Arcology is where the prologue of Wild Harem takes place. It is a tuboid megastructure, hosting thousands of people. It serves as their place of work and of their accommodation.

Structure
As a building composed of many floors, each is arranged in a circular fashion. Every alternating floor has a window view of either the courtyard, or the expanse beyond the arcology. The panoramic windows are made of aluminium oxynitride, and let a small amount of natural light through to the interior of the building.

Most of the electromechanical and data systems which automate the building are installed underground, with small relay stations and dumb terminals available on every level, providing access for technicians and engineers. The arcology is powered by a combination of solar and geothermal energy.

Atop Heichland Arcology is a toroidal windowed dome, which houses an artificial biome underneath it. The unique biome that Heichland Arcology hosts resembles a highland landscape, with glaciated hills, lakes, and grassland.

Decor
The colour scheme of Heichland Arcology is almost exclusively grey, save for a few golden accents here and there. The general style seems to reflect the uniform design which is worn by all personnel. Little thought seems spared to the monotone, high tech brutalist style. An oppressive aesthetic, designed for a spiritually muted workforce.

The courtyard is clad in the same drab, metallic surfaces that are present throughout the rest of the arcology. It is devoid of ornamentation or vegetation, and simply acts as a method of access between different parts of the arcology on the ground floor.

People
Most inhabitants of Heichland Arcology have never set foot outside of it, although it is host to many migrants from other arcologies. The vast majority are conscribed into different roles based on their apparent aptitude. They wear uniforms which are very similar, save for a pin in the hat which designates the branch that the wearer works in.

The general work ethic that most inhabitants aspire towards is one of ascetic servitude. This is enforced by coordinators who are alerted to aberrations in the behaviour of individuals by surveillance systems, and who then seek to coerce workers back into line.

For a couple of weeks each year, inhabitants of the arcology are allowed to visit the biodome to observe the technological prowess of society.
