The naming of areas in Karnaca is really bugging me, because in French "quarter" and "district" mean the same thing.

In the Dishonored series, the term "quarter" is only used on the general city map, and oddly as an exception on the dockyards' direction map (Dockyard Quarter). It's "district" everywhere else in Dishonored 2, DotO and now the second novel. And since I like maps that make sense, I gave it some more thoughts.

And so here comes my hypothesis on this incoherent mess of districts and quarters: quarters are the largest portions of Karnaca, and they are themselves composed of districts. That seems even more possible as canals form borders between them. Following this logic we have:


 * Campo Seta Quarter, south from Seta Canal, east of the Grand Canal
 * The Dockyards District, south from the small canal that cuts the quarter in two.
 * The Northern Campo Seta District, north from said canal, shadowed by the mountain.
 * Possibly the Palace District
 * Clemente Landing, the "Old Quarter" as it is called on the city map.
 * Batista Quarter
 * Batista Mining District / Dust District / Old Batista District (named as such in Dust District loading screens)
 * Batista Overlook where the mission takes place? Could also be just an area of the mining district rather than a district in its own.
 * Aventa Quarter, west of the Grand Serkonan Canal
 * Lower Aventa District, middle class housing
 * Upper Aventa District, high class housing
 * maybe the Santiago Fisheries
 * Cyria Quarter, north from the Seta Canal and separated by another canal on the east.
 * Cyria Gardens / Cyria Gardens District (on loading screens), the public part of Cyria
 * Upper Cyria District, the gated community, high class housing and businesses.
