Old Evan

"It’s remnants of Old Evan. The original city of Evan built in the late 19th century. It was later abandoned for unknown reasons, and the current city was built atop it."

- The Headmaster

Old Evan is an abandoned city underneath Evan, featured in Torn: Origins.

History
Before the 19th century, the city of Evan was about 150 meters below where it is today. The city of Evan mostly consisted of five- and six-story tall buildings. However, as the sea levels began to rise, and buildings started to deteriorate, the city of Evan was abandoned and completely covered up, and by the end of the 19th century, a new city of Evan, the current city, was built atop the old one. The old city became known as Old Evan and was erased with time.

Plot
During the events of Torn: Origins, the First Sons have set up their base of operations in Old Evan, away from the public eye. They initially built a prototype Armed Reactor Collider in Old Evan underneath Waguespack Pier, but it was abandoned and the First Sons moved to a new location in Old Evan, underneath Port Adams. This is where they built the main Armed Reactor Collider, and was where Oblivion lived and ruled from.

Old Evan is first featured in the mission 2.5 All Fun and Games (Good) / Hero or Not (Evil), when the player must explore it and find the prototype Armed Reactor Collider. It is then seen again in the mission 3.5 Cusp of Victory (Good) / Feel the Evil (Evil) when the player must infiltrate Old Evan and defeat Oblivion and the First Sons once and for all. Old Evan cannot be entered outside of these missions.
