For the mission, see Auldale.
Auldale
Auldale is one of the richest Districts in The City.[1] Landmarks include the plaza on the west side, the Museum in the northeast corner, and the park on the east side. Other things include the Auldale fence located in the southern area and Inspector Drept's workshop near the pub in the southeast corner. The only entrance is the gate on the west side from Old Quarter and a canal runs trough it.
Known Locations[]
Auldale Plaza[]
Auldale Plaza is one of the main squares in Auldale and led directly to the canal which bisects the playable area. In its vicinity lies Fogerty's Gold Smithery and a monument dedicated to Sir Bradshaw Auldale, the nobleman who founded the Auldale district.
Auldale Canal[]
The canal runs through the middle of Auldale and conceals the entrance to a hidden lair at the western end. The water level is normally maintained at approximately eight feet (a lethal depth in Thief: Deadly Shadows), but can be controlled via the pump house. Once drained, the canal can be entered directly through hatches in the pump house and in the public gardens. Although only a small area can be explored, numerous pipes merging onto the canal suggest that it is part of a larger network of channels.
Henry's Fence Store[]

Pump House[]
The pump house is used to control the water level of the nearby Canal.
Empty Noose Tavern[]
The local tavern situated across the street from Drept's house. The building is perpetually closed, possibly as the result of a recent crime,[2]. According to a letter (not found in-game), the Empty Noose was to be the location of a rendezvous between two conspirators. A Mr/Mrs X has hired an assassin to eliminate P. B. Alcius, a blackmailer residing on Sootspire Road.[3] The outcome of their plot is unknown.

Story[]
I could tell you where it is, but that would spoil all the fun...
This section contains spoilers! Read on your own peril.
During the events of Thief: Deadly Shadows, the park had been turned into a Pagan sanctuary and the pump house was sealed with vines by Dyan, Pagan Shaman, to protect the Pagans from an abomination, but it could be opened with the help of Dyan's Amulet.[4] Using the pump controls inside, Garrett was able to lower the water level of the canal and gained access to a Hidden Lair.
Trivia[]
- The last Rust Mite can be found inside the pump house.
