I had an idea this morning: since we've established a steampunk theme (albeit with elements of plenty of other stuff thrown in for the different regions), I think it would be cool to have a Rapture-esque element in Coterois. New-real New Orleans is below sea-level, so it seems like a natural extension of reality to say there is an actual part of Coterois that is submerged beneath the waves.

Couple this with the predominant native belief that things underwater are not to be trusted, and all of the natives could view Coterois as an abomination or something, and shun it at all costs.

Thoughts?
