Antarctica or Southern Quadrant Siege Capital (SQSC)[2] is divided into three parts: West Antarctica, East Antarctica, and the Antarctic Center.[3]

Parts

Name Details
West Antarctica
  • Mostly submerged in water and consisted of a scattering of islands, some of them small, some of them large.[3]
  • Mostly devoid of the human population.[3]
East Antarctica
  • One large landmass that was peppered by numerous lakes, with a prominent mountain chain in the middle of it.[3]
  • Largest and most densely populated region of the continent.[3][4]
Antarctic Center
  • A long, narrow landmass that rested between the two, occupied almost entirely by tall mountains.[3]
  • Administrative and technological hub of the quadrant.[3]
  • The southern edge of the Transantarctic Mountains was a real labyrinth.[5]

Locations Details
Coastal Highway The highway was wide, flat, kept in good condition, and stretched most of the way to the very northern edge of the Antarctic Center as it skirted the whole landmass between the mountains and the ocean.[6] The route was broad enough for ten Rhino-sized APCs to drive side by side, but it was blocked from the main thoroughfare by a heavy barrier. A railway stretched north and south behind it, closer to the mountain slopes, meant for transporting armored trains over the landmass. The other side of it was close to the ocean.[7]
Falcon Scott It is the northernmost city in Antarctic Center and the first and largest siege capital in the Antarctic Center, located close to the water.[8]
Erebus Field From the Coastal Highway, one must turn inland and scale the mountains to reach Erebus Field. It is one of Antarctica's most prominent cities and is well-known for its geothermal energy farms, fertile land, and warmth.[8]
LO49 It is a very important research installation located at the southernmost point of Antarctica.[9]
Unnamed Siege Capital It is located about three hundred kilometers northeast of Erebus Field, over the mountains.[10]
There were two thousand kilometers between Erebus Field and Falcon Scott, twice as much as to get to Erebus Field from LO49.[10] The infrastructure between Erebus Field and the northern landmass was developed and expanded by the First Army. Roads were wider and preserved further north, with less rugged terrain but not as flat as coastal highway.[11]

East Antarctica

East Antarctica was significantly larger than the Antarctic Center in terms of territory and population, with a more varied landscape featuring vast plains, long mountain chains, and numerous lakes that ranged from relatively small to those that were as large as seas. Twenty-one siege capitals face Nightmare Creatures, each protecting around nine hundred million people.[12]

Locations Details
Seventeenth Evacuation Corridor
(Corridor Seventeen) 		Corridor Seventeen connects one of the largest siege capitals in the region to the coastal fortress. It is vital for evacuation efforts.[13]
  • Southern shore, near an old wreck on the slope of a flat hill[14]
    • Giant chimney - The structure was wide and incredibly tall, reaching at least three hundred meters into the sky, just the part visible above the water.[15]

Background

Before the Dark Times, Antarctica was covered in ice. The melting of all its ice was one of the reasons that caused the Dark Times.[16]

Trivia

  • The Antarctic Center was a long, narrow, mountainous landmass that served as the continent's administrative and industrial center. As a result, it housed a number of high-priority targets that had to be evacuated at all costs.[4]
  • In early April, Antarctica experienced perpetual twilight with the sun staying in place painting a vibrant scarlet horizon. The Southern Quadrant was slipping into darkness. The moon was behaving oddly. It stayed in the sky for weeks and disappeared for stretches, often accompanied by Aurora Australis.[17]
  • Many of the old tunnels went through several rounds of additional excavation to serve as bomb shelters during the latter stages of the war between unknown sides.[18]
  • Antarctica was the first region to fall and was most likely fully absorbed by the Dream Realm, with most of it transported somewhere beyond the Burned Forest, becoming an open wound in the flesh of Earth that unleashes an endless flood of Nightmare Creatures.[19]
