Submit Your EntryContinuing from the lush landscapes of Velora, you arrive in Ironclad, the industrial core of Astraeus. After navigating the environmental crises and challenges of the Velora Plains, the contrast is striking. Once renowned for its metalworks and production lines, Ironclad now lies in disrepair, its factories abandoned and its workers left without jobs. The desolation you see starkly contrasts with the vibrant ecosystems you just left behind.
As you walk through the city’s empty streets, you encounter The Astraeus Economic Development Council (AEDC), a dedicated team of local leaders and entrepreneurs committed to revitalizing the city’s economy. Formed in the wake of Astraeus's collapse, this coalition of former factory workers, tech innovators, and business leaders is united by the goal of rebuilding their community from within. They share insights about the urgent need for fair and sustainable work opportunities, emphasizing that Astraeus can only thrive again if its people are empowered.
Your challenge is to develop a project that promotes inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Ironclad. Consider how you might create platforms for entrepreneurship, design tools to help workers reskill, or build solutions that connect people to decent jobs. Through technology and innovation, you can help rebuild Ironclad’s economy, offering hope to those who have lost faith in the future.
Working alongside The Astraeus Economic Development Council, you begin to envision a new era for Ironclad, where economic growth is driven by inclusivity and sustainability. Your contributions will lay the foundation for the revival of Astraeus, proving that prosperity can be rebuilt from the ground up. With urgency in your heart, you feel the weight of your mission; this is the last waypoint, and the future of Novara depends on your actions.
