⛪ ST PAUL’S CHURCH
THE HISTORY OF WATERLOO
Long before the island became Broken Paradise, Waterloo was founded on a very different vision.
At the heart of the original settlement was Sir Pual Waterloo, the island’s founder.
Sir Paul believed Waterloo could become a prosperous, self-sufficient community built on three principles:
FAITH. INDUSTRY. COMMUNITY.
To represent that vision, he commissioned a great white church at the base of the jungle-covered hill, just outside the original settlement.
From St Paul’s, the early settlers could see the foundations of their new home:
⛏️ THE MINE — the source of Waterloo’s wealth.
⚡ THE POWER STATION — the engine of its growth.
🌴 THE JUNGLE — the wilderness surrounding the settlement.
St Paul’s stood between them all.
It became a place of worship, community gatherings and refuge — a place where people could put aside their differences and remember what Waterloo was supposed to be.
🕯️ THEN WATERLOO COLLAPSED
When the government began to fail, the people of St Paul’s tried to protect the church’s most important possessions.
But the evacuation came too quickly.
The congregation scattered.
The church was abandoned.
And several of its most important treasures disappeared.
Among them were:
🔔 The Church Bell
📖 The Founder’s Book
✝️ The Silver Cross
💰 The Church Donations
The bell was removed from the tower.
The Founder’s Book disappeared from the podium.
The silver cross was taken from behind the altar.
And the church’s remaining donations — reportedly $10,000 — were hidden somewhere on the island.
None of them were ever recovered.
🗺️ NOW THE RUMOURS HAVE RETURNED
Some say the relics were deliberately hidden.
Others believe they were stolen.
Some believe the people who moved them never survived the collapse.
And some believe the church’s lost treasures contain clues about Sir Pual Waterloo and the true history of the island.
Now, with Waterloo once again descending into conflict, people have begun searching.
The Bell.
The Book.
The Cross.
The Lost Donations.
Perhaps they’re worthless relics of a forgotten past.
Or perhaps they’re worth considerably more than anyone realises.
⛪ ST PAUL’S SIDE QUEST
Players who visit St Paul’s may discover opportunities to:
🔔 Return the Bell to the Bell Tower
📖 Return the Founder’s Book to the Podium
✝️ Restore the Cross behind the altar
💰 Recover the lost $10,000 in donations
Each discovery reveals another piece of Waterloo’s history.
And completing the entire chain may reveal something that has been forgotten for decades.
THE CHURCH REMEMBERS.
The island has changed.
The people have changed.
But St Paul’s is still standing.
And somewhere beneath the dust, the jungle and the ruins…
Waterloo’s past is waiting to be found.
