Right!

Everyone knows the Theran empire was Atlantis. I doubt even the Atlantean Foundation knows that...

Probably because it was the most magically advanced nation of its time? Because it's demise is a good lesson in why blood magic is a Bad Thing® Because it tells you what happens to Elven nations when they get too hoighty toighty?

About domes - IIRC the London dome fell apart leaving only the ribs.  There was a street gang called the Cage Boys who spent their time swinging about the skeleton of the dome or as they called it the cage.  It is probably in the source book but I don't recall where I read that for sure

Ok, now I am curious. Who has the paydata on the London Dome?? As in who built it, when did they build it, why did it fall apart??

the goverment built it to protect the people from the polution of the toxic zones, and it fell apart because shadowrunners and eco terrorists kept blowing the thing up so much that it was pointless to try to keep it running, so they gave up, and got a bulk discounts on gasmasks and chemsuits.

Really? Is that canon or just your take on it? I mean, it sounds good, but I'm just wondering if that was from 1st edition.

That'd be canon. Check the London Sourcebook.

Yeah, the UK got pretty fragged during the Resource Rush, let's say that much.

I think it has more to do with the UK's "Crap, the House of Lords is our god" policy that basically scragged their environment for the sake of a few pounds.

This was the Resoucre Rush! EVERY government had that same mentality. There's a reason most major cities on the gllobe have electric cars and GridGuide. There's a reason we have to eat krill fillers and soy in all of our food. Gotta love our brave new world.

Gabriel

PS - Any other cities do the "dome thing"?????
