All known locations on the map Old Villedor
Old Villedor Master Windmill▶ show the map ◀
The Master Windmill was the magnum opus of Nightrunner architects as they tried to restore power to the people of the city. It took almost a year to build, but once operational, it powered most of Old Villedor. It was seized by Peacekeepers after the Nightrunners' dissolution and has been used to power the Main Terminal in Quarry End since then.
Quarry End Swimming Pool▶ show the map ◀
The Quarry End Swimming Pool was an Olympic pool built in the mid-90's by conservative mayor Cornelius Dobbs. Rumor has it that a religious community hijacked the water of the main basin and lived under it for several years after the Fall.
Saint Joseph Hospital▶ show the map ◀
The Saint Joseph Hospital was built in 1971 to replace the old, dilapidated infirmary in Trinity. It was equipped with cutting edge medical devices, including a PET Scanner and robot-assisted surgical equipment. A frontline in the research on the Harran Virus following the 2014 outbreak, it was the backdrop of an intense battle between the Army and the newly formed Peacekeepers during the 2025 Civil War.

Car Factory▶ show the map ◀
Originally the Dynamo Car Factory, a cutting edge electric vehicle assembly line, it was seized by the Army in the spring of 2023 and converted into a Solar Plant. Intended to make the city self-sufficient, it powered most of Villedor. The circumstances of how it went offline are unclear.
Chapel of the Resurrection▶ show the map ◀
Originally named the Chapel of Atonement, it was built in the 18th century by a wealthy Dutch merchant, Jacob Linden, and gifted to the Reformed Church of Villedor. After the Great Linden Fire, which started in one of Linden's warehouse and ravaged the city in 1772, Jacob Linden was convicted of arson and the Chapel seized by the powerful Catholic Church of Villedor, which renamed it the Chapel of the Resurrection.
Church of Saint John of God▶ show the map ◀
The Church of Saint John of God was built in the second half of the 17th century, making it one of the oldest religious buildings in Villedor. While digging the North Saint Paul Canal beside it at the end of the 18th century, builders uncovered a mysterious crypt, which to this day has remained sealed, feeding numerous local urban legends.
Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle▶ show the map ◀
Construction of the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle was comissioned by the Bishop of Villedor in 1770. In 1772, though, the Great Linden Fire destroyed the entire port of Villedor, making it impossible for construction material to reach the site for years. Work finally resumed in 1779 and the Church was complete in 1786. The Bishop of Villedor died the previous year and never saw the building finished.
Culvert Island▶ show the map ◀
For centuries, Culvert Island served as the home of the so-called 'Lock Masters,' who manually operated the locks, granting commercial ships access to the Central Canal. In modern times, the lock system became automated and the island was abandoned.
Dam▶ show the map ◀
The first dam protecting Villedor from the frequent flooding of the Turzawa River was built circa 927 AD, when the city was still called Gresburg. After it was granted city rights in 1033, Gresburg was renamed Villedor, and significant resources were devoted to expand the city on the muddy banks of the river. The current dam was built between 1948 and 1950 with funds of the European Recovery Program.
Metropolitan Art Gallery▶ show the map ◀
The Metropolitan Art Gallery is Villedor's iconic modern art museum. The building was commissioned in 1974 by Marius Cheatkins, the mayor of Villedor at the time, and was officially opened on January 31, 1977.
Mount Lucid Observatory▶ show the map ◀
The Mount Lucid Observatory, located atop the hill of the same name, was a telescope facility operated by the European Central Observatory in association with the University of Villedor. It consisted of two individual telescopes that could be used together to achieve high angular resolution. It was badly damaged during the THV-GenMod bombings.
Saint Paul Cathedral▶ show the map ◀
The oldest building in the city, construction of the Saint Paul Church began circa 1010 on the site of a former pagan temple. The Church's importance grew after Villedor was granted city rights in 1033. A bishop was installed and the Church became a Cathedral in 1207. Beneath it lie catacombs that hold several Holy Relics, most prominently the index finger from the right hand of Saint Paul. It was a popular destination for Christians, welcoming 600,000 pilgrims per year.
VNC Tower▶ show the map ◀
Construction of the iconic VNC Tower building was completed in 1959 amid the economic boom that followed World War II. Its primary resident was the company for which the tower is named, the Villedor News Corporation. It also serves as the headquarters of many corporate powerhouses besides, most notably the Dynamo Cars Company and the iconic fast food chain Queenbuns.
