Location from Final Fantasy VII by Square Enix
A densely packed undercity neighborhood beneath Midgar's Sector 7 plate, home to AVALANCHE's base of operations and a tight-knit community of residents who scrape by in Shinra's shadow.
The Sector 7 slums are home to one of Midgar's most resilient communities. Residents have built a functioning neighborhood from nothing — shops, a bar, a weapons dealer, and homes all fashioned from whatever materials Shinra discards. Seventh Heaven serves as both the community's social hub and AVALANCHE's secret headquarters. The pillar supporting the upper plate looms at the district's center, a constant reminder of the precarious existence below. Shinra ultimately destroyed the entire sector by detonating the pillar, dropping the plate to crush the slums and everyone in them — an atrocity blamed on AVALANCHE to justify further military action.
Ramshackle buildings cobbled from scrap metal and salvaged materials crowd narrow alleys beneath the oppressive steel plate overhead. Warm light spills from Seventh Heaven bar and scattered vendor stalls, giving the slum a rough but lived-in warmth despite the permanent twilight.
