Meridian Village is a section of the greater Meridian settlement, situated at the southeastern base of the mesa that Meridian sits atop.
Meridian Village can be visited in Horizon Zero Dawn, and seen from the Alight in Horizon Forbidden West.
History[]
A road sign for Meridian Village.
It is unclear when Meridian Village was established, but since the adjacent Royal Maizelands were established during the reign of Sun-King Amavad,[1] it's likely that Meridian Village was established during or shortly after.
For most of the Carja's history, Meridian Village was home of the city's lower castes, whereas the nobles and Sun-Priests lived on the mesa above.
Originally, the only way between Meridian Village and Meridian itself was a road around the mesa. However, shortly before the Red Raids, a set of elevators was created with aid from the Oseram,[2] allowing rapid transit between the main city and the village.
Horizon Zero Dawn[]
Meridian Village ablaze.
In HADES' attack on Meridian, most of Meridian Village was set ablaze by corrupted machines, Corruptors and Deathbringers. As Aloy passed through on her way to the Alight, she witnessed the elevators collapsing and Nil[note 1] and Uthid[note 2] fighting the machines in the blaze.[3]
Horizon Forbidden West[]
In the six months since the Battle of the Alight, much of Meridian Village has been rebuilt, with the elevators still under construction.[4]
