'this place of original sin' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'defend no gear being used' is the wordplay.
'being used' indicates anagramming the letters.
'defend'+'no'+'gear'='defendnogear'
'defendnogear' is an anagram of 'GARDEN OF EDEN'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
