Marlena's Wishing Well Owner: Marlena Location: Southeast of Fear and 56th Image: Game ImageDescription: At the edge of the street stands an old well, constructed of stone and standing about a foot out of the ground. Atop it, a pointed roof held by a pole on either end. A rope is tied to a third beam that crosses the other two - a broken handle on one side, offset by an unbroken one on the other. Before the well is a polished stone engraved with the name 'Marlena'. Grass surrounds the area, speckled with roses and orchids growing beautifully all around the area. In smaller writing, near the base of the stone:

The Towers of the Crossed Swords
Owner: Miranda Dawn Location: Southeast on Torment and 66th Image: Game ImageDescription: At the top of a steep incline, with views over great swathes of the city, stands the foreboding walled fortress of The Crossed Swords. The entrance to the grounds stands sealed with huge ornate wrought iron gates, displaying The Dawn coat of arms, symbolizing loyalty, honour and bravery. Along side of the gates is a weathered sign that reads: Behind the gate, an ancient, worn cobbled path leads to a rickety wooden bridge, lit with flaming torches which light up the night sky. The doors to the stronghold itself, beyond the bridge, are a massive steel-riveted oaken construction, a sturdy portal to the grey stone building. The square structure itself is flanked by two very different large towers; on the left a tower with large leaded and stained glass windows, a balcony with a widow's walk, and a turreted top. On the right, a windowless tower with a pointed vaulted roof, home to thousands of bats, and the gargoyles that watch over the tower. The structure stands amongst colourful English flower and herb gardens. The scents mix and mingle in the air casting a perfumed aroma even beyond the walls. The sides of the grounds holds vineyards overflowing with grapes. An abbey ruin is located in the rear. Beyond the abbey are rugged private cliffs, and at the furthest end from the cliffs, a fast flowing waterfall flows from the black rock face, onto rocks into a turbulent pool below. Inside the keep is a great hall, the walls adorned with colourful tapestries and Templar swords. Above the ground level are many private chambers. Below houses crypts and catacombs. In the underground behind crossed iron doors is a wine cellar filled with vintage wines. Beyond leads to a secret passageway. At the end is three large rooms that holds a distillery for the making of top shelf spirits. A brew house for excellent ales and ciders and lastly a winery for fine wines. Some of the spirits made here by the hired help are for private consumption while others are for the nearby tavern.

CrowsSong's Blackbird Towers
Owner: CrowsSong Location: Southeast of Wulfenite and 3rd
Image if One: n/a Description: Upon its completion, the modern architectural marvel that is Blackbird Towers became the tallest structure in the city. Blackbird Towers consists of three separate towers, interconnected with walkways, conduits and the like, that merge into a single edifice for the topmost ten floors. A visitor in the lobby of Blackbird Towers would find himself unable to ascend to those top ten floors, as they are guarded by a myriad of methods, both mundane and otherwise. Those ten floors are reserved exclusively for the private residence of Crow's Song, along with her family and retainers. The highest level a visitor would be able to enter would be the ten floors below Crow's Song's private residence, which are marked as the home of Blackbird Enterprises, an investment and capital management company. The remainder of the Towers is leased to various professional companies. At the street level, nestled between the three towers is a fountain that is a mixture of classical and modern. Below the street, along with the subway station, are a number of boutiques and galleries.
