Shiganshina District

The Shiganshina District as seen on the server

**The Shiganshina District** is an outlier district in the southern-most area of Wall Maria. It is one of, if not the most instantly recognizable and important locations in 8th Axis, just as it is in the Attack on Titan franchise. It is the hometown of the main protagonist, Eren Jeager, and the location where the Eldian refugee Grisha Jeager documented and hid the secrets of the world beyond the Walls.

Shiganshina is the focus of much upcoming content, with the the soon-to-be-released Shinganshina Campaign quest line following the reclamation of Shiganshina, and subsequently, all of Wall Maria. A version of Shiganshina in its overgrown state was released on October 20th 2023, and quests restoring Shiganshina to its former glory by defeating the Marleyan warriors and driving out bandits in the city will be added onto the map later on.

## Points of Interest

### Areas

* The Jeager House, (or more specifically, Grisha's cellar) which the entire Attack on Titan franchise up to Season 4 revolves around, is shown in the district of Shinganshina. It holds no significance at the moment because the quest line involving it has not yet been released, but is a popular location nonetheless.
* The Ironsson residency is technically not located, though there have been searches for lore and theories related to certain buildings. However, the Ironssons did had some kind of located in Shinganshina, and that is known, so it still deserves a place on the list.

## History

In the year 845, three Warriors sent by the neighboring country of Marley breached the The Shiganshina District in what would come to be known as the Fall of Wall Maria. Annie Leonhart, in the form of her Female Titan, used her scream to attract as many Pure Titans to the area as possible, before Bertholdt Hoover in the form of his Colossal Titan and Reiner Braun in the form of his Armored Titan breached the Outer and Inner Gates of the district respectively. Shiganshina District is also the canonical hometown of the player. The father of the player is a soldier of the Garrison Regiment, and being such, knew how to get his child (the player) to safety. Eren, Mikasa, Carla and Hannes are visible at one point as the player flees from the district.

## Old Shiganshina

On March 27th, 2021, the new version of Shiganshina was pasted into the main world. The process was the largest public build update to date, with the BT working on Shiganshina in the Main World rather than the Build World. It was slightly clustered, with the new version being pasted and worked on beyond the existing area of Shiganshina, however the BT at the time worked the humorous angle of the whole thing and posted a signboard where the entrance to Shiganshina previously was with miniature player heads of the BT members and signs that read, *"shig got fucking stolen lmao"*.

There is very little documentation of Old Shiganshina, but it is known that it was in the style of Trost currently. Attempts to locate it in the Build World have been made, and the updated version has been found, but as of yet, if there is one left, the location remains unknown.

## Trivia

* There was once a frozen bee in Grisha's cellar
* Miniature versions of the BT members who made the Shiganshina update can be found in the district. These include BT-Head Xaela, SrBT MrAwesome, BT danload, former BT SwedishChicken, former BT DJKayKayifyYT, and BT yudolph. Some other staff members such as QT-Head Dishwasher Soap and Head-Admin Giggles293 can also be found
* There is a hidden ship room in the city
