A Shadowy District of Heroic Immigrants and Meso-American Horrors
Every city needs immigrants¸ and the City is no exception. Step into La Colonia: a bustling Latin immigrant district pumping new blood throughout the City¸ delivering bodies (and souls) where they are needed to maintain¸ service¸ and build.
La Colonia de Sombras is a District divided between the dark machinations of Tío Tez¸ the crime kingpin (Tezcatlipoca¸ Aztec god of rulership and discord) who runs the show in La Colonia¸ and the mysterious masked luchadora (Kukulkan¸ Mayan Feathered Serpent) who calls herself Águila de Plata¸ The Silver Eagle¸ who is set on eliminating his criminal empire.
