  • Arcane

    Latest Post



    The Oxen Corporation Headquaters


    The home of the ruthless Oxen Corporation, it houses a gym, training halls, research facility, artillery rooms and a large garage. Twenty four hour surveillance means no one gets in or out without them knowing.


    Guardian General Hospital


    Located off the main street, Guardian General is the largest hospital on the continent specializing in Hematology and Trauma. Help can always be found in the Emergency Department as it is a teaching hospital that works in conjunction with the Oxen Corporation.


    Coopers Den


    A refurbished tavern, you will find many of the Oxen Corporations outstanding men and women relaxing here after their shifts. There is always a hearty banter over the pool tables as local beer flows from the taps. A cosy nook in the built up city run by the legendary Cooper (NPC).


    Hollows Place


    The residential area of Arcane where high rise apartments meet the suburbs to provide housing to the citizens. People can sleep safe knowing that even here, the streets are guarded.


    Arcane Docks


    The cranes and miles of containers are a prominent feature of the Arcane skyline. Large transport ships come and go between Arcane and Relinquo Cove often leaving empty containers in the docks. The Oxen Corporation can often be seen collecting various crates filled with parts and supplies for their ongoing military operations.


    The Delphian Abandoned Subway Station


    Once a family-friendly park, the area is now off-limits to the public as a sinkhole swallowed the playground, revealing an abandoned subway platform. The Delphian Subway Station was once the brainchild of a mayor who mysteriously died. With his death, the funding for the project was pulled, and the station and its tunnels were left to be absorbed by the earth. Its recent discovery has opened new possibilities for the city, but while engineers determine whether the tunnels are salvageable, they remain abandoned and unstable.

    All Saints Cathedral


    The oldest building in Otara Mortus, Saints Cathedral stands out against the modern skyscrapers in its background. Under current renovation the scaffolding outside does not hinder its parishioners from appearing every Sunday.


    Sin Strip


    During the day, the seedy centre of Saints Stand is dormant. People go about their ordinary, mundane lives; they work, eat, and shop. But once night falls, The Strip comes alive. Casinos, bars, speakeasies and notorious Strip Clubs give the strip its name. In the shadow of the Cathedral, temptation and sin lurk behind every corner, and you never know what trouble you may find if you're not careful.


    New Hope Clinic


    Saint's City public finally has access to free public health care. The clinic specialises in medical treatments such as blood disorders, infections and general illnesses, although they are known for never refusing a patient in need. Because of the clinic's anonymity clause in which they don't ask the patients for any form of ID, it had been known to attract a shadier crowd. Still, the clinic's manager, Entraprenur Cassandra Blake, claims that anyone seeking help will find it at New Hope Clinic.


    St Eugenes Block


    This tall brick highrise with views of the river has been recently gentrified. Although the exterior looks almost identical, new reflective windows have been installed. Security into the building is state of the art. The new landlord has selected only a trusted few to reside in the building, with the new tenants making up the bottom two-thirds of the building. The top levels of the building are strictly off-limits as they are home to the landlord Cassandra Blake. However, the residents don't seem to mind as they enjoy the amenities the building offers, like the new basement gym with sauna, high-speed internet and security only matched by the Oxen Corporation. Home of the Death-Reign-Matashina Coven


    St Judes/The Con


    There is an old converted school in the middle of Saint's, close to the industrial district. The building was once a school for unruly teens but was converted into a house in recent years. The original owners did not stay there long, claiming the plot was haunted. They fled and left the place empty. The Kostas pack now claim this building as their home, seeking protection and alliance with the vampires, hiding in plain sight from their common enemy.


    The Hide


    The hide is an old disused warehouse that Coran Valencie and his men turned into a field hospital during OX Corp's second period of eradication. Over the years, The Hide has developed into a stronghold for Coran's resistance. It not only contains a hospital but offices for the higher ranking soldiers and laboratory/testing facilities. If you want to stand against Ox Corp, this is where you should be.

Visitors can explore mammals, birds, fish, and insects, as well as mammals from around the world. Admission is free. Highlights include imposing skeletons of Lycan specimens that have been found or donated to the Museum by the Oxen Corporation.


    Soul Supplies


    Nestled along a busy street is a little blue wooden door with a simple sign that reads "Soul Supplies". In the store windows, you will see crystals and gemstones of all sizes, rows of dried herbs and all manner of natural medicinal remedies. To the human eye, it is mundane, but to those that seek to find, a simple riddle answered will open the door of possibility.

    Oxen Corporation Division 2


    A remote military compound situated far out beyond any civilization within the Sevari Sands. Wire fences surround the perimeter of one of the largest facility's run by the Oxen Corporation. The circumference of this installation spans for miles, housing the most confidential of Military Intelligence as well as some of the Oxen Corporation best kept secrets. Division 2 as it is called, is used as the boot camp to train new cadets and house important files and documents.

    Ruins of Aurulant

    The Empty Expanse


    A large plain of nothing but sand as far as the eye can see. There is very little flora and virtually no fauna to speak of. To enter unprepared is surely a death sentence.


    The Salt Flats


    It’s the legacy of a prehistoric lake that went dry, leaving behind a desertlike landscape of bright-white salt, rock formations, and cacti-studded islands

    The Death Underground Crypt


    Although Death Manor no longer stands, under the ash and debris remains the crypt of the Death family. The catacomb-like structure has been built and extended through generations, with the latest edition still a work in progress as more and more bodies fill the stone tombs beneath.


    The Underground Cave


    In one of the far-reaching corners is the mouth of a cave. Without the cover of the trees, its mouth is now exposed to the elements and visitors. Inside, there are signs that someone or something once resided there. Clothes, belongings and even children's toys lay scattered along the floor. If you are brave enough to go into its depths, you can follow a tunnel that will lead you back to the outside world. There are rumours that monsters once lived there, but whatever lived there is long gone.


    The Crater Pools


    Dotted throughout the earth, these small pools of water have formed in the craters left from a battle fought and won by Ox Corp five years ago. The large holes in the ground were never filled, and so water filled the gaps left. However, most people avoid them as the water has a strange red hue, resembling blood and making people believe it's toxic. They are a visible representation of the wounds left on this land that is very much still open.


    The Blackened Oak


    Surrounded by blackened ground, the large Oak Tree stands triumphantly against the odds. Its bark is black and brittle, and the mysterious face has distorted almost in pain. Although some of its branches have fallen or broken, the roots are embedded defiantly in the ground. Its seeds scattered on the earth, hoping life would return to the area.


    The Falls


    Following the caves, you will be led to a place simply known as the Falls. An underground waterfall drops into the lowest cavern of the caves. The freshwater roars into the depths of a black hole with no end in sight.


    The Weeping River


    A small river of water runs through the woods. It was almost dried up, the small concentration of water had given way to its name, but the flow has grown over the last few years. Passing through the caves, particles of the crystals are picked up and carried. Even in this black expense, the water glistens, reflecting any light like tears.

  • Shadow Realm

    Shadow Realm


    The shadow realm, a seeming place of mystery to those who only observe it from the outside. However, it is just as much of a world as this one is. While there are multiple continents, most of the power is consolidated on one, but still split between three nations. Those are Kingdom Blackthorne, the Silarnus Empire, and the fractured tribal lands of the Western Reaches. Any of these are open to explore, but, as in this world, some places are more friendly than others.
