The Carnival District[]
The district is a hotbed for illicit stimm trade with the traitor guardsmen as the new suppliers. A recently established heretic stronghold.
Many a zealots take part in bloody personal crusades through the den of depravity that is the Carnival District. From the White Shadow stalking the alleyways to Amelia Barquette assaulting illegal stimm factories, it's unlikely they will be the first nor the last to do so.
The "Gutbucket" - a popular amphitheatre used for blood sport and center for illegal stimm distribution.
The Carnival District is the illicit drug production center of Tertium. The Carnival is an entertainment district full of bars, arenas, and hidden obscura dens and mass drug production. These drugs are referred to as Stimms and can range from stimulants to medicine. These drugs are legal to the Imperium military for combat purposes to keep pilots, soldiers, etc. awake, alert, and alive in risky situations. Stimms are typically injected but there are inhaled stimms, typically used by aeronautica pilots. Stimms also have a variety of effects. Medical stimms that act as a way to quickly stabilize injured soldier in a fight or a a powerful stimulant keeping a soldier alert and ready.

It is unknown how the Carnival-produced stimms compare with the military-used versions, but they seem to have similar effects. The majority, if not all, of the Carnival's citizens are employed in this expansive drug production and distribution operations in the district. There is little opportunity in Tertium and Imperial citizens of the Carnival district have no other options to help cope with Imperial rule than by selling, using, or producing drugs.
A heretic shipment of blighted stimms.
The district has recently fallen to the control of the Moebian 6th and with it blighted stimms have begun being researched, created, and distributed. The Moebians kept most of the Carnival untouched and likely either coerced or killed those in charge to assist in the traitor efforts. Overall, not much has changed in the district since the Moebians took control. The district is still a hopeless center for debauchery and depravity, but is simply ruled by a different set of hands.
Many of the traitors and cultist patrons have been getting drunk or high since the 6th began their War on Atoma in earnest.
Official Overview[]
Source: Dev Blog: The Carnival Level Design
“THE TAWDRY SURFACE IS GARISH AND ENTICING, PROMISING ENTERTAINMENTS AND ILLICIT DIVERSIONS, BUT UNDERNEATH THE LURID SURFACE, IT’S ACTUALLY AS VILE AND PITIFUL AS THE RUMOURS SUGGEST… PERHAPS EVEN WORSE.”
"The Carnival is effectively a massive slum. Over-populated, close-packed and riven with poverty and grim conditions. As a result, it is semi-lawless. The disreputablenature of the place means it is a notorious area for entertainment: that’s its appeal. It’s the place you go for brief respiteand vice. It’s attractive in a very degenerate way, vividand dirty, promising transgressive thrills.
A skilled brawler may find their ticket out of poverty by participating (willingly or not) in fighting pits. The glory is short-lived however as blood lust corrupts. Another may strike gold with a lucky roll of the dice - though the chances of making it out alive with the winnings are slim, as The Carnival houses its own bogeymen and monsters stalking the backstreets. Bars are particularly dangerous, pass out and you may find yourself in the hands of a devoted murdercult. Then there are the gangs looking to expand their influence. Visitors should expect to get mugged, or worse most likely."
