Chicago



Chicago, Illinois is the largest city in the U.S. State of Illinois and the third largest in the country. It is home to Harry Dresden and provides the setting for most of the Dresden Files stories.

Description
"Chicago. It’s insane and violent and corrupt and vital and artistic and noble and cruel and wonderful. It’s full of greed and hope and hate and desire and excitement and pain and happiness. The air sings with screams and laughter, with sirens, with angry shouts, with gunshots, with music. It’s an impossible city, at war with itself, every horrible and wonderful thing blending together to create something terrifying and lovely and utterly unique."

- Harry Dresden

Chicago is a crossroads both physical and metaphysical with dozens of ley lines running through or coalescing in the town or nearby.
