Welcome back to the CJ of the Bright City. It has taken a bit to begin the Phase Two leaving Hellfire Bay moving to the heart of Aurora, Maya Bay, but here it is the first chapter dedicated to it!

CONAL VALLEY

This is the first district you encounter coming from Hellfire Bay, exiting the very long tunnel that connects it to Irvine, and also coming from Sunwell Plateau, making the highway that cuts the valley in two one of the busiest route of the entire region. The mountains are so high that the morning the sun takes much more time to illuminate the valley than the rest of the city:

A very long straight climb and descend the valley, after which it is one of the busiest interchanges in the city.

NORTHGATE

Very different is what is set in the east part of the valley, which hosts the important railway junction known as Northgate, with its logistics center and the adjacent industrial area.

I gotta know--how much of this is Photoshopped, and how much is mods and filters? This looks better than all the other C:S stuff I've seen so far, but are the shadows and the general overcast type appearance in-game or not?
