Montréal is dead by pieces. Saint-Paul-Émard is the first piece still manageable enough to map. It combines Ville-Émard and Côte-Saint-Paul into a single DeadMTL sector identity. Not safe. Not fully lost. The entry point.
Filed under active MVP zone. All data reflects current season conditions.
The playable square. What holds the enclave together and what presses against it.
Saint-Paul-Émard is not one thing. Four distinct subzones with different threat profiles.
Duplexes, ruelles, corner shops, boarded windows, buried caches. Streets are navigable. Recoverable if approached carefully.
Threat: Medium — RecoverableFailed civilian triage. Buses as barricades. Improvised blockades that stopped nothing but blocked everything. Exits compromised.
Threat: Unstable — Active ClusterCold industrial strip along the waterline. Workshops, garages, fog off the canal. Useful loot. High risk. Unpredictable movement.
Threat: High — Industrial CorridorOpen green buffer. Abandoned camps. Good sightlines, both ways. Migration flow from LaSalle brings mobile pressure.
Threat: Mobile — UnpredictableDistricts that define the situation inside Saint-Paul-Émard without being accessible yet.
Mercier pressure. Bridge barricade failed in week one. Major horde source. Not an early zone.
CriticalClosed pockets, survivor rationing, contested access. Smuggling routes active. Entry requires negotiation.
ContestedCanal crossings, workshops, industrial loot. The north bank is contested. Every crossing costs something.
ContestedRails and viaducts. Autoroute corridors. Later route toward central Montréal. Not yet reachable.
TenseFalse calm. Open land, abandoned camps, moving dead. No anchored threat. Constant drift.
BufferDesignated crossing points. All currently restricted. Status reflects last confirmed field report, winter 1993–1994.
What Saint-Paul-Émard does in the server world. Not a tutorial. A district that happens to be survivable enough to start in.

Something is broadcasting from deep inside the Monk Residential block. Short-range, irregular. Could be a survivor. Could be a looped recording. Could be bait.
Monk Residential →A marked location along the Canal Edge subzone. Supplies left in a workshop near the waterline. The mark is visible. Whether the cache is still there is not confirmed.
Canal Edge →Movement from LaSalle peaked overnight on February 1st. The Angrignon Fringe absorbed the initial surge. The Jolicoeur line reported contact. Saint-Paul-Émard held.
Angrignon Fringe →“The enclave holds because the canal holds. If the canal line breaks, Saint-Paul-Émard is not a sector anymore. It is a corridor between two worse places.”
