: Old Quarter
- Haunted Hammerite Cathedral
- The Abandoned Keeper’s Grotto
Deary me, we need to pay more attention in forum classes, methinks!
You'll need to add:
-Dr. Evil aka Foolster's Secret Lab.(close by to the Keeper Compound)
-Karrots' Super Secratively Secluded Secret Base (Quite close to the Cathedral, but you need to look for a 'secret' alleway, find a convenient burrick, stand on it and mantle into the base via a vent. shaft)
-The Serpentyle Torc House
-Dr Cray's Medical Practice
-Zombirella & daughters Dressmakers
-Bloodstone Prison
-The Winter Tunnels beneath the Cathedral
-Cragscleft Prison (don't worry about the upper levels...there's nothing much important round there Inline Image:

-The Cathedral Graveyard
-About 10 Foofie Headquarters.And last of all.....
The Alarus Extension!Naartjie

Just in case you need places to fill out the map, in my fanfics I mention:
Lord Forridon's Manor- Since Wayside is looking a little sparse, this could go here. However, if you think it's unsuitable for a wealthy man to be situated, it could be moved to Hightowne or somewhere similar.
The Green Burrick Inn- This can be in Shalebridge, a suitably grubby part of town.
The Dark Arm Thieves' Guild- A strictly minor guild, also in Shalebridge, close by to the Green Burrick.
All for now....btw, anyone know where the Baron lives? He must have some sort of large castle to keep his armies in, and I'd guess it;d either be in the centre of the City or somewhere outside it away from the possibility of attack. If it's an old castle/house/fort/whatever, it would probably be built nearby to a river or sea, perhaps on the inside of an ox-bow meander shape (like a sort of really curvy 'C' formation) or backed by high ground. And I'm sure there are dozens of places like Moth that haven't been included yet. The Bogeys'll get you if you don;t include them...

Funny, I've always had an interest in the maps of Thief. I once made my own map of the city that pinpointed all the key locations (yeah, I'm a geek, I know). I've wondered about the Baron's castle too. I think it would be in Hightowne, one of the City's richer areas. First Bank & Trust would probably be either Downtowne, Hightowne, or Eastport, I think. (Dayport has a bank already- Unless they're competing banks?)

Thank you so much for that Naart!!!
Before I got to the bottom of this thread I was beginning to fear that everyone had forgotten what the OLD QUARTER actually was. Perhaps some people need to read the Fanfic: life in the OLD QUARTER. Just a suggestion...
I love this idea. We should have an actuall (on the parchment picture) map drawn. Though I must admit Grund, yours is very nice. But we need all the details and names.
Unfortunately my mission is not out yet, but if it was it would be located in the unknown region of town. Perhaps the "wilderness" or "fronteer" But we need a name for the WHOLE place, like the country or something that everything is located on. Is it just England?

Sneaksie Thiefsie should have some input here.

http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I think that all of the City districts from the game have been mentioned already, so I don't think I've much to contribute:
Dayport - I think that the Bonehoard might be here, but that's just a guess [dockers refused to work at night because of the moans from there?]
Hightowne:
Primma Donna's apartment [not far from Opera House]
My fanfics, however, list the following locations:
CityGate
Oldbridge:
-Larnseng's Mansion
-Wealthy Merchants
[I imagined Oldbridge to be an early part of the City, and built close to the Docks - the docks also being early, seeing as how they appear to be a major industry in the City.]
Prisongate:
-Hammerite Library
-City Prison [or one of several]

Sneaksie Thiefsie, I haven't had the chance before to thank you for your work in the Keeper Theses. I really enjoyed reading them, and I still refer to them from time to time.
From the somewhat disjointed information available in the missions of TDP and TMA, you have provided a rich and surprisingly detailed description of the Thief environment. This has made me enjoy Thief more than before.
The only thing missing is a map highlighting the many areas, which is the subject of this thread.
For our newcomers, if you are a Thief lover, you should read the Keeper Theses on ttlg.
Thanks again

Digital Nightfall, does this thread mean a map will be prepared? I sure hope so, because it will tie things nicely...
