Oddhaven International Airport - 1 Viewing Airplanes roar overhead almost constantly in this hub of national and international transit. A forest of blinking lights stretches to the horizon along a massive artificial plateau under the shadow of the control towers. Outside the whole place smells of jet exhaust. Within the airport is reasonably modern, though parts of it, here and there, look as though they haven’t been cosmetically modernized in ten or even twenty years. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people, from all over the world, are constantly coming and going, speaking a dozen different tongues, too busy to take it all in.

Van Heyte Military Base Named for the Dutch Commodore who commanded the conquest and oversaw the reconstruction of the original Portuguese colony, this is the largest army base in the Forlorn Isles. Apart from the main facilities, large portions of the base’s sizable acreage are taken up by neighborhoods of subsidized housing for the troops and their families. The extreme uniformity of the houses and streets in these neighborhoods can be quite disorienting to those who lack the lay of the land. Houses here are comfortable, if a couple decades past their prime. Military police patrol the streets with some regularity.

Lakeshore Grove Streets of crisp asphalt wind through neighborhoods with lush, perfectly trimmed lawns and attractive but mass-produced houses in this picturesque community. Peace, quiet and normalcy are the watchwords of the upper-middle class residents of this suburb, who prize the simultaneous distance and closeness Lakeshore has to Oddhaven. Anything out of the ordinary is cause for alarm in Lakeshore and strangers walking its streets can’t help but feel the anxious eyes of residents peering out at them from behind curtained windows.

Diesel City The contextual change in Diesel City’s name over time has reflected its material changes. When the suburb was founded post-WW2, the word “diesel” conjured to mind powerful, progress-driving machinery along with the commerce and travel of tomorrow. Now diesel, and its namesake suburb, is associated with grime, filth and toxicity. Diesel city is the main point of transition between Oddhaven and the outside world. One could always leave by boat from Prospect Docks but modern people find it much easier to catch a metro to Diesel City’s rail station and from there take a train, or hop across the street for a bus, to other parts of Ilha Principal. Those looking to make the journey in a car will have to pass through Diesel City as well, and the suburb is also a necessary crossing point for those traveling between Oddhaven Airport, Van Heyte Base and Oddhaven itself. This constant traffic around the highway and travel hubs does little to revive the failing fortunes of Diesel City, whose only thriving industries are transportation and warehouses. The streets off the highway are cracked, the houses are rotting and the storefronts on Main Street are largely abandoned. Crime and despair are a Diesel City resident’s constant companions, playing out in generational cycles underneath the suburb’s failing streetlights.
