Name: The Pit

History: The Pit is the name given to the slums and shantytowns which have emerged at the edges (and even on the sides) of The Chasm. The living conditions are dangerous, even after a decade of work to secure the walls of the chasm shifting ground is still a possibility, and the people live cheek by jowl with heavy plant and industry which exploit the exposed minerals.

What Is The Primary Source Of Crime In The Neighbourhood: Due to poor housing, bad schools, and little economic opportunity, organized crime pretty much runs the Pit. There is a thriving black market, which allows the most rare smuggling, illegal drugs, or depraved taste indulged. As a result, there are many tourists who come to 'slum it' at the Pit.

How Do The City's Authorities Treat The Neighbourhood: Avoidance; the cops have a very hands off approach to the area. For one, no body talks to them or trusts them. Two, many cops takes bribes from the various factions who actual run the Pit. Finally, some of the gangs are well armed enough to take on the police!

What Was The Nature Of The Catastrophe: Villainous Plot Come To Fruition; nearly 10 years ago the supervillain [To Be Named] sought an object of incredible power [Also To Be Named] which was buried deep beneath Arcadia. As heroes rushed to stop him the resulting fight and release of dark energies best left buried caused the very earth to split in two creating The Chasm which still scars Arcadia to this day.

Most Obvious Lasting Damage: The Chasm which splits the city in two.

What Was The Political Fallout From The Catastrophe: The massive damage to the city caused it economic damage from which it has struggled to recover. There are huge mining and industrial opportunities which have been ruthlessly exploited by private enterprise leaving only crumbs for the populace. As a result Arcadia is now, except for a few districts well poised to take advantage of those opportunities, a much poorer and darker place than it was before.
