The seat of power. The highest office in the land. The place where all decisions are final.

They call it the Hot Seat. The Mayor’s office in Coldford is not those who can’t take burn. City Face derives its name from the huge clock that sets the time for City Main and beyond to Greater Coldford.

City Main has it’s distinctive sky line in large part due to Fullerton Construction. As viewed from the northern town of Bourtnon.

From the time of the first mayor of the Shady City it has been both an inspiring and terrifying building. It was built by the Fullerton family and funded on Owen coin and given the Penn stamp of approval, a long time before the Coldford we know. The first mayor, Jock Wilson, took his place with pride. Public addresses were held on the lawns out front and the new mayor was to make his first official address to the people.

The mayor had their attention. the A scream broke through the crowd’s tension. As Mayor Wilson began his address, his voice raised above the gathered crowds it spelled a new future for Coldford.

A spark of gunfire brought the mayor’s voice to a halt.

The lawns had only just been completed when they received their first blood stain. This set precedent for how messy the politics of the Shady City would get.

A uniquely constructed building. The large time piece almost acts as a doomsday clock. The face of the entire city is one of time ticking by. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Everyone look up at the giant clock.


Enjoy this? Time is ticking by for the residents of Harbour House. A unique rehab facility with standards, laws and regulations all of its own.

Name: James Feltz

Occupation: Mayor

“I did the best I could.”

Jim Feltz began his political career as the voice of the people. he was Northside born to a working class family. His father was a life long labourer on FULLERTON CONSTRUCTION   sites. His mother tended bar and waited tables at BOBBY’S LUNCH BOX. Jim was the first of his family to go to university. He managed to find himself a place at KINGSGATE alongside political rival MICKY DOYLE. Competing with the privately educated Doyle, Jim Feltz’s campaign resonated with the people of Coldford – especially those in the Shanties where he had promised new housing projects, support for the drug addicted and all those other sweet words politicians use when they want to get the people behind him. Once elected to the Hot Seat (a term used in the Shady City for the Mayoral Office) those promises weren’t kept. Those sweet words had a bitter after taste.
