New Orleans: Crescent of Darkness- A Threads of Damocles "A" Universe


	The Cede The Cede is the name given to a large portion of the city that was allowed to flood as a compromise with Lake Ponchartrain . In 1907, the city was faced with a huge project of repairing the earthworks along the Lake or a smaller project of letting a portion of the city serve as a breakwater and abandon most buildings within it. The project was completed in 1910 and the Cede was flooded. The flooding has created a warren of buildings and rooftops in an eerie wasteland of squatters and criminals. The docks at the edge of the old earthworks are still serviced by trolleys on elevated tracks but the cars only go there when they need to. (Typically this happens, when deep draft ships arrive from the ocean.) Usually, only the dock workers and shipping men frequent the area, and most folks with common sense stay away.
