Devil's Acre (stronghold)

Devil's Acre was a location in London, Britain during the Victorian era.

Ever since medieval times, Devil's Acre had been home to criminals and debtors, whom were housed there by the clergy from Westminster Abbey. In the nineteenth century, the Blighters, operating under Lilla Graves formed one of their strongholds in this location, worsening its reputation even further. This particular stronghold soon became known as the most violent one in London.

In 1868, the Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye attempted to liberate the city from Templar control, following up on Henry Green's leads to weaken their infrastructure. One of those leads led them to Devil's Acre, where the twins liberated the stronghold from the Blighters, allowing the Rooks to take it as their own.
