Geography

The Towers are located at the heart of downtown.<ref name="12.2e1" /> The New Wave residences and Immaculata High are located southwest of the Towers.<ref name=":1"> All of New Wave live southwest of the Towers, the nice part of downtown.  Neither of their houses were hit by the worst of the waves, and none of the Chosen or Merchants are stupid enough to attack them, and they wouldn't succeed if they were. - Snare 13.2</ref><ref>Atlas carried me into the nice part of town, southwest of the Towers.  The Christian private school wasn't far from here.  Immaculata.  New Wave was also based here. - Excerpt from Colony 15.8</ref>

The Towers district is built upon a number of distinct hills.<ref>The Simurgh was flying over a set of hills that would have been the Towers district of Brockton Bay, had we been on Earth Bet. Excerpt from - Speck 30.2</ref>

Residents

The Towers district is home to Theo, Gallant, Rune, and Dauntless.<ref name="SB1">It's alluded to, but [Gallant]'s tied into some of the local business by way of his wealthy dad. He'd easily cross paths with Theo in the hoity toity events (given similar backgrounds/locations - they live in the Towers), and is generally very wealthy. - Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref><ref name="R1">[Rune's] uncle connected her to Kaiser, who brought her and her family to Brockton Bay and helped them financially (putting her in the Towers.) - Wildbow on Reddit</ref><ref name=":2">Jennifer would probably like more things for the house, but Jennifer was constantly on the lookout for the next move up, and now that they lived in the Towers, the nicest area in Brockton Bay, she was hinting at possible moves to other cities. - Excerpt from Heavens 12.none</ref>

Trickster drove out looters there following the Battle against Leviathan, establishing the area as his territory.<ref name="12.2e1">Trickster has been driving looters out of the heart of downtown, the towers. - Excerpt from Plague 12.2</ref>

The Parahumans Online user White Fairy lived in or near the Towers, and would meet Brockton residents to confirm them for "At Ground Zero: Brockton Bay" user badges and give them supplies if needed.<ref name=":0">•  I will meet you.  Time and place of your choosing, though I’d prefer to meet you halfway if you’re a ways away from the Towers, and I won’t go into any of the danger zones.  If you need supplies, I have access to batteries, supply kits, gas and a car, and I will deliver it to you when we meet.  I might have luxury goods, but you’ll have to pay for those. - Excerpt from Interlude 19.y</ref>

History

Story Start

The Towers were considered the nicest part of Brockton Bay.<ref name=":2" />

Post-Leviathan

The area was claimed by Trickster as part of Coil's Organization.<ref name="12.2e1" /> The area was relatively unscathed by Leviathan,<ref name=":1" /> although there were still looters.<ref name="12.2e1" />

At some point, there was a massacre at the Towers that claimed the lives of a number of Merchants.<ref name="massacre">Nobody close to me died, but I still did lose quite a few people.  My best friend moved away.  My other friend joined the Merchants because an artificial high was better than being lucid and uncertain.  Come to think of it, he might have died in that massacre at the Towers.  My parents were separated, but they still lived in the same city before.  My mom wants to move back, but my dad’s gone to Florida and I don’t know how much I’ll see him. - Excerpt from Interlude 19.y</ref>
