The UNDERWORLD also known as Hell is a dimension where demons originated and are currently trapped in. It is a realm of demonic energy that all demons have access to. Demons that have not yet been magically summoned to Earth will not able to leave this realm. It is the hope of all demons to be summoned to Earth so that they are not trapped in the Underworld.

Deities are able to visit this realm, but the overbearing dark, demonic energy will make them extremely uncomfortable and they will not be able to stand it for long.

The buildings in this realm are made of a mix of stone, metal, obsidian and even molten lava. The earthly laws of physics do not apply in this realm and demons are free to use their magic in any way in their home world, including Void Magic.

Bleak, dark, intimidating landscapes stretch into the horizon and it is in this realm that demons feel at home, especially Underworld demons.

There is a hierarchy present in the Underworld, where older more powerful ancient demons tend to be at the top. That is not to say that younger ones cannot rise within the system, but to do so means that they will have to challenge, defeat and oftentimes kill their elders.

Time moves differently in the Underworld. A thousand years in this Hell would equate to only a few decades on earth. The way time moves in this world is what allows demons to see and relate to time in ways that other species cannot relate to.

Demons have magical devices in this realm that allows them to observe realms, such as Earth or the Astral Plane. They cannot observe what happens in the Divine Realm and have devised methods over time to shield themselves from the prying eyes of the deities who keep tabs on them.

These devices come in the form of large, black mirrors and they are not easy to come across. They remain mostly in the hands of older, ancient demons and it is not easy for younger demons to get their hands on them unless they have connections.

This is the realm where demons from Earth can bring souls to do with them as they wish. It is also possible to turn these souls into Underworld demons if these souls have been here long enough. The process of a soul turning into a demon is not a pleasant one.

Demons will rarely bother to look after newly-created demons, leaving them to fend for themselves in a world where only the fittest survive.

Vampire souls return to this realm after their physical body has been destroyed and they will have to fight to survive and can eventually turn into Underworld demons or get destroyed in the process.

OOC: The information in this post is for player's reference. Demon characters can thread with their characters in the Underworld as long as they adhere to the information stated here. Players can also use the information here to inform species change plots, such spirit to demon plots. This will allow an almost immediate species change that might otherwise take too long in-game. Please reach out to the admin for clarification and confirmation if you wish to do this!

The DIVINE REALM also known as the Light Dimension is a dimension where deities originated and live. It is a realm of divine light that all deities and only deities have access to.

The buildings and streets in this dimension are made of different types of crystal and the light energy here is too strong for beings other than deities to withstand. The earthly laws of physics do not apply in this realm and deities are free to use their magic in any way in their home world, including Order Magic.

Ornate buildings can be seen floating amongst clouds and ethereal picturesque landscapes span far into the horizon. The deities in this realm are wont for nothing as everything they need is provided for in their home world.

Time moves differently in the Divine Realm. A thousand years in this Light Dimension would equate to only a few decades on earth. The way time moves in this world is what allows deities to see and relate to time in ways that other species cannot relate to.

Deities have magical devices across this realm that allows them to observe other realms, such as Earth, the Underworld or the Astral Plane, but what they can observe of the Underworld has become more limited over time.

These devices appear in the form of iridescent pools that can be commanded to view different realms and can be used by any deity.

This is the realm where deities bring purified souls to help them transition into becoming deities. Deities can either work together or separately to guide and teach new deities the ways of deityhood. New deities can choose to live in this realm or not and will be able to come back and forth easily.

OOC: The information in this post is for player's reference. Deity characters can thread with their characters in the Divine Realm as long as they adhere to the information stated here. Players can also use the information here to inform species change plots, such as spirit to deity plots. This will allow an almost immediate species change that might otherwise take too long in-game. Please reach out to the admin to for clarification and confirmation if you wish to do this!

"The Bunker"

@vievecorcitylocations

The Bunker is a facility run by the Remington coven for investigating and dealing with cursed objects or dangerous magical artifacts. It has a conservation area, a laboratory like room, and a few plain concrete rooms available for supernatural residents of VC to rent. The rooms are warded and physically reinforced to absorb most curse effects but can't contain a conscious entity.

There are at least 2 staff members on duty when any of the rooms are in use. They are trained in curse breaking and first aid, but the Remington coven warns that there is still a risk when dealing with magical objects.

Jobs at the bunker: Technicians/Curse Breakers (4) Open to witches and deities, they do not need to be part off the Remington coven but must at least be on good terms with Elijah.

The Sly Fox

@vievecorcitylocations

Situated in Garond just off the main drag is a hole in the wall bar that as been around for a few decades now, occasionally changing hands but continuing to serve the community without interruption. Though it is open to all who want a good drink, The Sly Fox caters the experience towards the queer community, especially the lesbian and sapphic communities and takes its role as a safe space very seriously.

The menu boast both permanent signature drinks as well as rotating seasonal drinks, with many utilizing liquors distilled in the city and surrounding area. Every month, they host an event, most often hosting a musical performance of some kind. Digital flyers with event promotion and special drink deals go out anywhere from once weekly to once monthly.

The basement, while primarily used for storage, has been enchanted to have a secret room for potential Artemis usage. Eun-ji's currently owns The Sly Fox under a pseudonym.

There are openings for two bartenders, and anyone can sign up to perform.

Through the Rosu Clan, Judas is starting a program to support sireless vampires (or really any vampire who needs support or mentorship)

[vivian-ambrose]

Name: Severine Type: Synthetic Blood Substitution Beverage Flavor: Diet/Electrolyte taste Purpose: Several years ago, while working on her research on supernatural physiology, Viv shifted her focus to the one thing that gives vampires their power and livelihood, blood. While she researched the chemical, biological, and magical structures of various blood types and it's effect on the vampiric body, she stumbled upon something that at first seemed trivial, but would later prove insurmountable in its application. It was a complicated formula of different biological and magical compounds that, when interacting with vampiric cells, led to a chemical reaction, and it was found in all blood variants. What she'd found was the core structure of what makes blood tic in vampires... and if she could find it, maybe there was a chance she could replicate it.

Over the last year, Vivian has finally perfected her synthetic blood recipe. Ethically, of course. She's spent much of her time between her lab and traveling for research, and has recently returned to propose her idea to Vievecor City’s supernatural community as the beverage, now called Severine, is ready for mass production. With Artemis' demands for more ethical treatment for humans, it's Vivian's hope that this will ease tension in the city and assist with inter-species cooperation.

Severine reacts to the Vampire's body like human blood, but with a less palatable taste. It isn't as sustainable as live blood variants, such as human, animal, and supernatural species, only sustaining the vampire for a week, so they will need to consume more and more frequently. Some vampires in the longitudinal trials found warming the blood to assist the taste, but not by much. There are talks of developing flavors for Severine, but the research is still in early developments.

Nakshatra Hotel

@vievecorcitylocations

The Zaman Building better known as the Nakshatra Hotel, one of the highest rated hotels in Inner Vievecor, Hedon. The hotel boasts fantastic food, comfortable rooms and a roof top bar and pool. To those in the know however the hotel holds much darker shadows.

Nakshatra also is home to the Ishvara Zaman. While nothings been proven, rumor has it that the Zaman family are running some kind of criminal organziation from inside. The family has taken up residence in the the top most floor, though only one of the family remains. In the past few decades the hotel underwent renovations. Visitors state that they never heard anything in other rooms, apparently there was some sound proofing done.

Mabile Zaman, the current owner, reportedly has two offices. Her public office and one that is only accessed by herself, the Ishvara Zaman, and their 'guests'. While her public office is warm and inviting, the private office is a sparse room large tiles that are easy to clean, her desk and a few chairs, and a fireplace. The door remains locked by electronic locks only acessible by specific keycard. Theres an outer lobby that seperates the two offices, that is rather normal and comfortable for those that wait for their visit.

Additional Areas of Interest: - Ishvara work spaces in the basement. - Forgery - Arms - Vices (drugs, blood, illict substances) - Information Database - Security - Private elevator to offices and pent house - Zaman Family Study - Zaman Family private Balcony on the back end - Incinerator -

THE TAIL END

@vievecorcitylocations

Located at the tail end (haha, get it!?) of an alley in Garond, The Tail End is a small pet shop that specializes in providing the best of the best for your pets. You won't find common brand here, and the owner, Calvin Fleischer, partners with local bakers, butchers, and farmers to provide food and treats with organic, minimal ingredient items. People rave and review about how switching to a Tail End diet has made their pets happier, healthier, and shinier, with some even commenting that those with disabilities or struggling with old age have seemed magically cured or pain free!

The owner is known for his love and respect for all animals. The animals waiting to be adopted are never caged, allowing them to roam free around the store. He must have a way with them because none ever seem territorial or afraid, and it's not uncommon to see birds lounging with the cats and hound dogs curled up with rabbits. Anyone is welcome to come in to pet any of the adoptable animals, and there is a small, inviting room that can be rented out for small gatherings where Calvin may provide more unique animals for petting or even adoption, such as capybaras, servals, and fennec foxes.

TAIL DOCK

The Tail Dock is a secret room in the back, hidden away by Calvin's shadow magic. Here, this is where Calvin creates his magical pet food, embedding beneficial magics within kibble, treats, and supplements. Also located within are strange creatures also available for adoption, including fire-breathing lizards, three-headed dogs, and even a cockatrice. All in which have been captured over the years and sheltered before being released in respective habitats or given over to responsible supernatural owners.

Calvin is not stingy about allowing people in the back, so long as they are aware of Golden Rule.

In the mail, you would have received a letter with no return address. No one knows who put it in your box or how they may have even found you, but the rabbit stamped on the top edge is enough to guess where it came from. Inside the envelope is this pamphlet, carefully folded. No other information or letters have come with it.

Locke's Pharmacy

The establishment has been run by the Locke family for at least the last two centuries - taking a firm place as part of one of Droitwich's bustling high streets. The business has been eyed numerous times by developers, wanting to take advantage of its prime location - with its often empty shelves and out of date decor, the business-minded folk have been waiting for the moment the tired looking shop finally goes bankrupt. It's a wonder the place stays in business - if you only knew of its first floor, at least.

Locke's Potions

The true business lies under the ground. Visible only to members of the supernatural community - the entrance to the potion shop was long ago enchanted between the aisles now allocated to ''Digestive Care'' and ''Cold & Flu Remedies'' - appearing as a glowing trapdoor only to those deigned suitable to see it (and only when no human eyes are around), quickly leading to a spiral staircase that extends downwards to the workshop below. Victor Locke is an esteemed Potionmaster - known across the globe for his efficiency and skill in the anciet art. There's little he can't brew - and his ethics regarding a potion's intention are easily blurred - for the right price, of course. Along with the usual basic potions (sleeping draughts, healing aids, magic enhancing brews), there's also a hoarde of unique magical ingredients and worn potion making books up for sale. Rarer, or more complicated concoctions, are made to order at client request - with confidentiality of every order, guaranteed!

Ambrose Science and Innovation (ASI) || Viv's Research Lab

@vievecorcitylocations

Vivian created Ambrose Science and Innovation (ASI) as a means to continue her supernatural research with the space and equipment necessary to further her projects. She had previously operated out of the hospitals that she worked at throughout her travels, but now that she's taken up permanent residence in VC, she figured it was time to invest in her passions. ASI is located in Kiln, in the downtown districts a few miles from her house. It was previously an abandoned building that she'd purchased and renovated over the last year. Although the building has at least four floors above, it also houses several higher security floors below. Partnering with the local university, the above ground floors host several research labs for non-supernatural, bio-medical research.

The bellow ground floors require special clearance, and the only personnel allowed are trusted supernatural species that Vivian vets herself. These floors are for investments in supernatural studies, with the aim to improve the livelihood (so to speak) and understanding of the supernatural world. Particular areas of Supernatural research studied at ASI include genetics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering, There is one floor in the below levels that is strictly off-limits, for Vivian's own projects and is inaccessible to anyone who is not Vivian.
