Etris
A name heard in whispers, but absent from the official maps of the Empire.
Etris is a name often circulated within fan discussions but does not appear in any official records of the Dishonored universe. There are no canonical maps, texts, or narratives produced by Arkane Studios that reference a city, region, or faction by this designation. As such, it remains outside the established geography of the Empire of the Isles and the Grand Serkonan Republic.

Lore & Background
Accuracy regarding the setting is vital for understanding the narrative stakes involving the Outsider and the plague. Confusing fictional fan creations with established canon can obscure the true themes of revolution and consequence found in Dunwall's streets or Karnaca's markets. The official lore focuses on tangible locations like Coldridge Prison and the Hound Pits, which ground the story in a specific steampunk reality.
In Their Own Story
A scholar pored over the dusty archives in the Royal Conservatory, searching for any mention of Etris among the leather-bound tomes. Dust motes danced in the light filtering through the high windows, illuminating maps that showed only Dunwall and Karnaca. No ink marked a place called Etris on the parchment. The scholar closed the book with a sigh, realizing some names belong only to dreams, not history.
Reader's Guide
This entry serves as a clarification for fans seeking information about Dishonored locations. Since Etris is not part of the official canon, there are no missions, landmarks, or characters associated with it in any game or novel. For accurate world-building details, focus on Dunwall's districts like the Distillery District or Karnaca's Upper City. These areas offer rich exploration and lore regarding the Whalers, the Empire, and the supernatural elements of the series. Understanding what is not canon helps preserve the integrity of the story. The Dishonored universe relies on a specific atmosphere of decay and magic that is best experienced through its verified settings.
