SIE Compound-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Raven & 13th Image if One: Game ImageDescription: A gas lamp flickers in the evening breeze, outside two great mahogany cathedral doors, which loom to dramatic heights before a gray stone structure that looks like a fortress. An icy chill emanates from the entrance and permeates the area. A painted wooden sign states in dark, scrolled writing, "Welcome to the SIE Compound Within these stone walls you will find the Sanctuary of Immortal Enlightenment. A clan of the utmost integrity, commited to protecting their family at all costs and dedicated to the procurement of knowledge. Here you shall also find the Sanctuary of RavenBlackCity, a fun and lively public place for all to visit, drink and chat. Finally the Training Ground Institute is where you begin your training when you wish to join SIE. This is a wonderful school for learning everything a vampire needs to know to become everything they were meant to be. Enter if you dare and thank you for stopping by."

The Ivory Tower-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Zelova & 76 Image if One: Game ImageDescription: An ivory spire rises skyward here. Atop it a solar disk shimmers, lit by some mysterious power. As members of the clan for which it is home pass through the gates, the disk pays homage, flaring brightly, illuminating their path, and inspiring their minds. The tower is marked by the artistry of the ancients, crafted eons ago by some of the first beings to set foot in the territory, and upon reawakening to find that a sprawling city had arisen around them. It is a testament to the power of knowledge, the peace of ages, and the strength of the individual, forged into the strength of a clan. The sense of unity which overcomes the senses of those who choose to dwell within these halls may be experienced by you as well. To find out more, inquire at the gates

The Lokason Myrkrasetur-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Wulfenite & 40th Image if One: n/a Description: n/a The Ravenblack Bite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Oppression & 40th Image if One: n/a Description: Nestled into the intersection between Oppression and 40th sits The RavenBlack Bite. The building is layed into the ground, its entrance marked by a steel-crafted sign reading "Bite" and 13 steps downward, flanked by steel banisters on either side. The stairwell is well-lit with wide, circular rows of LED lights powered by the generators in Bite's basement. There is a plaque by the entrance that offers thanks to those who helped erect the building; blackdragon and Mictian. Upon passage through the studded steel double-doors at the base of the stairwell, visitors are greeted by an industrial-based, ominous office. Yet the building appears to be empty, with the exception of Bite's owners and editors. This is not a bustling publication, there is no secretary typing away at the curved steel desk in the front, nor making appointments. Though several passerby might stop in to utilize the rows of slimline, desktop computers lining the walls in order to access Bite's online publication, the part of Bite available to the public is often subdued and quiet, most of its raucous activity taking place over an internet connection. Further into the underground building, beyond where the public is granted access to, Bite houses a full printing press. Perhaps this is where one would see the most 'bustle', if one were invited in. The press is constantly running, concentrating on the new comments filtering in at every moment and printing the latest copies of Bite at rapid rates. Its ink never appears to run dry, and each copy printed is different, containing the newest news and public commentary. It is not immediately obvious how the printing press seems to instinctively know when and how to update its copy, yet many do not question it. Moving even further into the building, the industrial theme continues, the same LED lights utilized in the stairwell continuing sporadically over the ceiling to illuminate the business and its innermost workings. Across a concrete hallway one finds the mail room, equipped with more computers to sort their incoming emails and a post-room to sort their incoming paper mail, which may appear out of thin air thanks to teleportation scrolls. Mail is immediately opened, sorted, and printed in order to appear in the most recent copy of Bite almost immediately after it is received. The Bite building is large and spacious, despite the limited amount of space needed for its employees and the work that is done. Hallways may seem to lead to nowhere, containing hundreds of empty cement rooms, not equipped with windows or contact with the outside world. And yet at the end of another long, sparse cement hallway one reaches the cubicles, where all of Bite's 'magic' truly takes place. Fourteen cubicles flank the room; each cubicle maintains a desk and either vampire's personal computer, as well as a chair, a cot for overday worknights, and a small mini-fridge. This is where Coquette can be found more than 75% of the time, surrounded by scattered papers and Post-it notes, typing frantically away at her computer. This is Bite. The Reynold's Estate-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Beryl & 23rd Image if One: n/a Description: The street light shines down upon a stainless steel gate, cradled between a brick wall on either side that stretches down the entire block. A black asphalt drive snakes up the immaculately manicured lawn. The estate lands are tiered but from the darkness you cannot see the spectacular array of flora on each level. The drive disappears into a line of trees bordering the top tier. Over the tops of the trees, the upper levels of the massive manor stare down. Hunched motionless figures line the walls of the manor's roof. There is a plaque on the left wall, it reads: Welcome to the Reynolds' Estate. We pay the rent in this house with honesty. Don't make me raise the rent. Behind every cloud there is a silver lining, and we own it!

The Sakura Garden-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Nickel & 77th Image if One: n/a Description: n/a 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: The Towers of The Crossed Swords Torment and 66th Founded by Miranda Dawn Family and Friends Welcome Foes Be Warned The Dawns are not to be trifled with 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.

Wilde Sanctuary --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owner: n/a Location: Southeast of Willow & 51st
Image if One: n/a Description: Ivy vines reaching down from above nearly conceal the elegant scripture of a bronzed sign just aside the immense iron gates, which reads 'Wilde Sanctuary'.
The faint sent of Cinnamon, Lavender and Cherry blossoms fills the air here. The dirt path has ended and as you step onto the lush green lawns separated by cobble step stones, the trees above close over you like a canopy to protect from the Sun.
Elegant weeping willows and wild exotic flowers stretch as far as the eyes can see. Off to one side is a large waterfall, which cascades endlessly into a clear heated lagoon. Along the path there are beautifully carved marble statues intermittent throughout the grounds.
Yet, further, a dark shadowy crevice can be seen beyond the waterfall. Closer still, and a set of winding stairs leading downward into dark, deserted places becomes visible. Some passages yet to be discovered, they lead to the Wilde Catacombs; foreboding and like a labyrinth. There are words carved neatly above the staircase: Be careful where you choose to wander in this secluded place but don't rest too long, handsome stranger. Linger... and we may pull you in. Sleep too long and find yourself lost In our delicious world of sin...
Wilde Wolfe Estate --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owner: n/a Location: Vervain & 50th
Image if One: n/a Description: Gentle breezes part the long branches of willow trees to expose a gracefully ordained Estate that embraces the quality and craftsmanship of the French eclectic era,from the Gothic 15-panel solid mahogany doors and its carved limestone surround, to the weathered stone exterior and spiral, clay chimney tops.
Wrought Iron gates secured firmly into boulders are left unfastened as if to invite visitors. Deeply embedded within the limestone entrance to the manor is a bronze plaque engraved in Scripted Old English: ~Stay for the evening, but please leave all notions of hostility and retribution at the door.
Mina and Kaio

Wyndcryer's Lair --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owner: Wyndcryer Location: Southeast of Unicorn & 77th Old Name: Wyndcryer's and TygerNight's Lair
Image if One: n/a Description: An intricate, wrought-iron gate greets the visitor, and it creaks slightly as it opens to reveal the inner landscape. A large blood fountain waits to quench the thirst of any in need, central in the spacious yard, surrounded by four wrought-iron benches to match the elegant gate, inviting repose to enjoy the cool night air and the company of the flora and fauna that is abundant.
The plaque that graces each post bookending the gate reads as follows:
"Welcome friends; our door is always open to those with no ill will. Weapons are not permitted here, nor is anger, nor hatred. This is a home of love and peace, and all seeking such are welcome."
Magnificent gargoyles guard the entrance to the main mansion, one on either side of the marble steps leading to the broad, mahogany double doors. Pushing them wide, the visitor will find the opulent furninshings, graceful armchairs and couches of mahogany and silk in silver and black that are spread throughout the room, and the large fireplaces centered in each of the east and west walls.
On the far wall is a large, ornate mahogany door set into the marbled wall, opening onto the main chamber of the couple, a large golden gargoyle on either side to guard from intruders to this inner sanctum, watchful eyes continually prowling the room for dangers.
Those fortunate enough to pass unharmed through this door will find the couple's crypt, walls of pure gold layered over the expensive marble. Ancient statues abound to greet the couple when they wake, golden remnants of Istanbul's past, and the sarcophagi themselves are of pure gold to ward off the sun should it find its way into this place through some act of the gods or perhaps earthly treachery.
