obsidian's Arboretum-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Obsidian & 88th Image if One: n/a Description: Leafy green trees stand straight and tall, aligning the gates at Obsidian and 88th. If one were to venture beyond the sturdy gates and through the vast thickets of trees they would discover many species of trees, plants, and flowers. Creeping vines, poisonous bloodroses, and vegetation of the stinging nature list the dangers of this path. Splashes of vibrant color greet the eyes, as flowers vie for the attention of the onlooker. In the park, the sounds of running water leads to various small brooks or streams bubbling with aquatic life; fish, polliwogs, turtles. Upon a slight hill, in a clearing sits a well worn bench. In front of the bench, lies a simple plaque. The plaque reads: "In Memory of a Much Beloved Son. Brian Alexander Beringer aka "Alexandir" 7/3/92 - 5/30/07 Not a day goes by... Forever in my Heart Love, Mommy" obsidian's Castle of Warwick-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: obsidian Location: Southeast of Obsidian & 1st Image if One: n/a Description: This dark castle, seemingly taken out of a fairy tale, is set back against the hills of RavenBlack City. The towers, turrets and spires of this medieval structure jut out against the skyline, creating an imposing effect. On closer inspection, it will be noted, a wide moat of lava encircles the castle. A sign is posted in front of the Gate House: "To all those who venture here as friends, you are welcome. This is the home of the Warwicks. The Castle was built in the 11th Century by the family and rebuilt in the 17th Century after the Great Fire of 1694. If you enter the grounds, you will discover the Shire of Warwick. A few of the many places of interest you may want to peruse at your leisure: The bakery; where fresh bloodpretzels can be bought, The training grounds; to practice your skills or compete in tourneys, Beautiful gardens full of exotic flowers; to stroll through with your love, The alchemists; for medicinal purposes only, of course The shire also has points of interest such as the Priory, Hospital, and Gaol. If you are invited to the main castle itself, it has its own spectacular views from the turrets, above the winding towers. Gardens, a wine cellar full of a wonderful selection of libations, libraries full of rare publications, an herbarium with whatever herb anyone would need to create potions, and on the grounds a great maze to get lost in.The dungeon is a place you may want to stay away from, pay no attention to the piercing screams. Also, if the smell of sulfur permeates the air. better make a run for it, there are dragons afoot." A box of leaflets sits against the wall, with a notice, "Please take a leaflet for more information."

obsidian's Silver Towers-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: obsidian Location: Southeast of Obsidian & 51st Image if One: Game ImageDescription: Two brilliantly chromed cylindrical towers stand side by side, one slightly taller than the other, their glass domes brush the clouds with their height. Before the perfectly manicured grounds, there stands a sign. Etched in a mirror, it reads: Welcome to obsidian's Silver Towers These sleek towers are made of an impenetrable silver mirrored glass that shines brightly during the day; during the night they are a display of their own with glistening lights from each window. Glass elevators climb to the 99th floor. Here is where the Silver Towers connect from one tower to the other via a tunneled walkway made of the same silvered glass. The East Tower is the location of the office of obsidian's assistant Crystal, the boardroom, the kitchen, and other assorted offices. The East Dome is an atrium full of exotic flowers and plants, which visitors can enjoy from below as they await their appointments or meetings. Across the glass walkway is where obsidian's offices are located. obsidian's private office takes up the entire upper level of the West Tower. The circular room is furnished in the softest of white Italian leather chairs, with end tables and coffee tables made of silver lace obsidian. Hidden behind paneled walls lies a fully stocked bar and the latest in entertainment systems. A spiral staircase winds up to the Dome. The Dome is constructed completely of glass, and provides a 360 degree view of the City. Here is obsidian's workplace, in a loft, with nothing more than a desk, a comfortable chair, and a panoramic view of the City. A box of leaflets sits against the wall, with a notice, "Please take a leaflet for more information."

obsidian's Tranquility --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owner: obsidian Location: Southeast of Obsidian & 80th
Image if One: n/a Description: A modest chaumière sits deep within the wooded boundaries of Obsidian and 80th. The cottage sits amidst a clearing in a grassy meadow. Thickets of deep green foliage interspersed with vines of blooming poisonous blood-red roses almost completely hides the home. A small quaint sign depicts the property to those who would care to venture forth. This is Silverbridge,
A place of Tranquility...
A haven of silence...
A peaceful refuge for its owner, away from the machinations of the City.

Ordo Dracul Sanctum-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: unknown Location: Southeast of Nightingale & 77th Image if One: n/a Description: Overlooking the dark streets is a dimly lit castle, one that is unknown to most kindred. To the vampires that do know it, it is known as Ordo Dracul Sanctum, The Sanctuary for the Order of the Dragon. Its appearance is shadowed by the two large dragon statues that guard the gates of the magnificent courtyard. Inscribed on one of the dragons is a message. "Ordo Dracul Sanctum, Offering guidance and indepth knowledge to fellow Kindred on how to enhance and overcome the Vampiric Curse, using the teachings of Vladamir Tepes, our Founding Father. Information can be found at www.ordodraculsanctum.co.uk/." Through the courtyard, the main castle can be seen, its imposing structure casting fear, yet security to its followers.

Palazzo Lucius --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owner: Lucius Location: Southeast of Zebra & 27th
Image if One: n/a Description: Carving a path through the vegetation, tripping over roots barely to clinging to the earth, you find yourself in a yard of gray soil and foul smelling weeds. It is a three-story manor, with four towering Ionic columns joined by an architrave. The facade is badly weathered and the colours faded. A single iris blooms among dead leaves lying curled inward like the remains of insects, piled up against the windows and doors. The mummified husk of a wren is buried beneath them, body sunken, its feathers fragile as ancient parchment.
With the crescent-shaped moon now straight above you, your shadows point directly towards the front entrance of this eerie edifice. Clouds move rapidly across the sky, sporadically throwing shadows on the house and yard.
The Palazzo takes on a hypnotic, nightmare quality as a violin beckons like a Lorelei. And, maddening and indiscernible, a whispering breeze repeats "Lucius."

renovate's grove-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: renovate Location: Southeast of Umbrella & 71st Image if One: Game ImageDescription: A wrought iron gate is hidden in behind a deep tangle of vines that have all but swallowed a tall and crumbling brick wall. Beyond the gate lies an apparent chaos of overgrown shrubbery, ancient trees, sprawling grasses, mosses, herbs, vines, fungi and flowers. Each plant seems to be struggling for dominance over the next. Upon further inspection, it becomes quite clear that the vegetation forms a daunting labyrinth. Welcome to the Eden of the city. In this humble oasis, the uproar of the outside world is easily forgotten, and you are left alone with your thoughts, your dreams, your regrets and on lucky nights... your prey.

Rev Awk's Regency --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owner: Rev Awk Location: Southeast of Willow & 83rd
Image if One: n/a Description: Surrounded by a majestic fence and gate of stone and wrought-iron, stands a towering, stately mausoleum fashioned of gleaming, blue veined, white marble. Above the great stone doors, in bas-relief, is the visage of the Demi-Lich Revok and the family crest and name of "AWK". When opened, the immense doors reveal the interior of a cool, dry, windowless sepulcher, at the center of which is a massive granite sarcophagus. Those both bold and strong enough to prise open the lid would find not a coffin inside, but instead an unlit stone shaft with stairs spiraling precipitously down into blackness, terminating ultimately at the luxurious, modern offices and apartments which compose the regency, refuge and repository of the Master Vampire Rev Awk and the home office and headquarters of the clan N-3.

setitevampyr's temple-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: setitevampyr Location: Southeast of Raven & 50th Image if One: Game ImageDescription: A dilapidated building stands unnoticed on the corner, overlooked by many, but beyond the rotten wooden doors and gloomy hallway is a reconstruction of an Egyptian temple. Statues are situated around the altar which lies at the back of the room - most of them appear to be of a man with the head of an indeterminate animal; clasped in his hand is a symbol somewhat familiar to vampires, the ankh. Gifts lie at the base of the altar: fresh roses and burning incense. Another room in the building had obviously been occupied moments beforehand; a dark red armchair still has someone's features indented in the fabric and a scabbard hovers on the edge of the armrest. A deep voice resonates from the shadows saying, "This is setitevampyr's abode; she is on business for the House of Heorot at the moment. You may find her in their halls or you could rest here and wait for her, if you are not of ill intent."
