Talk:Cap au Diable

• I know that the contact list is incomplete. I'm working on it. If you know of other contacts, please feel free to add them.
• List of neighborhoods.

In-Game

The in-game spelling of this zone is "Cap au Diable" - note the uncapitalized "au", versus what we've got, "Au". There are approximately the same amount of links to Cap au Diable as Cap Au Diable, slightly favoring "Au", but text can easily be bot-replaced. I'd like to put forward the suggestion of moving the content to "au" and deleting "Au" (spelling redirects are unnecessary). -- Agge (talk) 09:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd agree with moving from "Au" to "au". --Eabrace 14:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, yes, "au" is much better. The in-game references are inconsistent between being capitalized or not, but I've always made a point to use the lowercase version in my other projects because it'd be like capitalizing "of" in the original French. --Blondeshell 17:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Detailed Neighborhoods

I didn't want to completely lose these, as they seem to have had some effort put into them. However, the page needs updates with where things are located, so I went with Port Oakes and Mercy Island style instead of ultra-detail. Maybe create a subpage for each zone for detailed neighborhood information? -- Agge (talk) 14:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Neighborhoods

Aeon City

Aeon City is proclaimed as a model of perfection. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Diable, it was founded by the renowned Dr. Aeon roughly a decade ago.

Dr. Aeon is now the benevolent governor of Cap au Diable and is responsible for such incredible innovations as giant produce, organ cloning, and perhaps his most famous invention, the "Power Transference System."

The "PTS" supports the "City of the Future" and its incredible energy demands. This amazing creation taps the bowels of dormant Mount Diable and efficiently transfers geothermal energy into clean electricity. Its massive tendrils stretch throughout the island providing clean and efficient power to all who need it.

The Luddites claim that the "PTS" taps a demon rather than a volcano, but everyone knows they're crazy. Reports of "gremlins" occasionally gathering around the PTS lines are similarly ridiculous.

Devil's Coat Tails

Haven

If Aeon City is the model, Haven is the aspirant. Its buildings have not adapted the brighter surface of Dr. Aeon's neighborhood and still bear scores of neon signs and other "noise". The catch-up nature of the district means its rent is cheaper, crime is more rampant, and violent rampages by super-powered beings are all too common.

Mount Diable

The island's greatest landmark is an old volcano and its strange rock formation called the "Head of the Devil". The horns are visible from much of the isle, making it easy for new visitors to quickly get their bearings.

The Luddites and other occultists claim the horns are some after-effect of an actual demon of gargantuan size that walked this island in Father Henri's day. They also claim that the massive, subway-sized cables leading from the mountain here do not tap a dorment volcano, but the powers of Hell itself!

New Haven

New Haven is in many ways similar to Haven proper, both in architecture and in general shabbiness.

A few newer buildings, WSPDR News and Aeon University, have appeared recently, as if to trick the casual visitor into ignoring the rest of the neighborhood but really just providing even more marked contrast to New Haven's neglect.

The island's most famous reporter, Amanda Vines, works out of WSPDR's offices here. Some wonder why Lord Recluse tolerates her constant prodding, but so far she has proven immune to Arachnos's wrath.

King Midas' factory building is also found in this area, and serves as the Gold Brickers' main base of operations.

The University is located here, providing access to the Inventions tutorial for villains. To the south of the University, northeast of the Rogue Isles Ferry, is a Black Market (Coordinates: 530.2, 2.6, -999.0), allowing secret auctions for Invention Salvage and Recipes.

Vagabond Hills

The hills south of New Haven are said to be the hiding place of Martin Henri - founder of the Luddite movement.

These hills are also home to numerous vagrants dispossessed when Dr. Aeon "relocated" them to create Aeon City. Many of these former homeless have heard Martin Henri's message and joined the Luddites' ranks, so Aeon's plan may have backfired.
