[indent][b]The Docks[/b]
[color=silver]Wireless Hut — A retro tech repair and resale shop owned by a man known only as "Mr. Phone" (The Mountain's cousin). Cluttered with old consoles, bootleg DVDs, and cardboard boxes of wires. Hidden behind a wall tile is a biometric panel concealing a secret cache of The Mountain's old gear.

St. Dymphna's Home for Wayward Youths — A four-story Victorian townhouse at the end of a quiet street, its brickwork weathered by salt air and city grime. A small wooden sign by the door reads the name in hand-painted blue lettering. Home to a rotating cast of young people with nowhere else to go, many of them Grays. Run by director Mrs. Laleh Qadir and maintained by the quietly unsettling Mr. Silas Brannock, whose ability causes passersby to overlook the building entirely.


Harborlight — A sprawling underground Gray club inside a renovated dockside warehouse. Cracked brick and boarded windows outside give no hint of what's within: blue neon tracing the high rafters, a DJ booth on a raised platform, and a circular arena stage at the center of the main floor where illegal powered fights are staged as "exhibitions." A glass-fronted VIP lounge overlooks everything from above. Run by the Icelander, a pale, ageless Icelandic man who watches the fights from his balcony and uses the club as a recruitment ground.[/color]

[b]Steel Acres[/b]
[color=silver]‘The Strip’ — Nickname for a collection of streets that lie on the border between the Docks and Steel Acres, full of cafes, clubs, pubs and restaurants. It is the ‘Working Mans’ alternative to making the trip to Pointe Bordeaux.[/color]

[b]Hudson[/b]
[color=silver]The Liu Fix-It Workshop — Bo Wen Liu's repair shop and family home in the Hudson neighborhood. A brick-and-mortar base for the Liu family's handyman trade, covering electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and more. Qing Yuan still uses it as a base when his own van work is quiet, and checks in on his father here regularly.

Everyday Heroes Center — A community hub in Hudson founded by The Mountain (Saw Chaw). Described as a point not just of civic pride but national pride. Provides resources and support to the local community.[/color]

[b]Little Italy (The Italian District)[/b]
[color=silver]Megdalia’s — A family-owned Italian restaurant that hasn't changed in over twenty-five years. Same furniture, same menu, same chefs, same waiters, same Dean Martin record flipped again and again. The Raciti crime family's standing Sunday dinner reservation.[/color]

[b]Pointe Bordeaux[/b]
[color=silver]The Haunt — A nightclub housed in a former bottling facility on Milk Street, large enough to run its own microbrewery. Its signature sour beer is called "Schwarzwald," named for the Black Forest and the sour cherries that give it its color. Known as a regular DJ venue — DJ R3TCH!D R@T plays here often. An open secret that the club launders money for the cartel, and local gang members use the dancefloor to move product.

Pendelton & Hawking — A law firm where Archibald Hardwick works as an associate, recently promoted to junior partner. Harriet Lynd, his neighbor and longtime friend, is already a junior partner and helped get him in the door.[/color]

[b]Wicklow[/b]
[color=silver]Saint Brigid’s — A gothic limestone church with high stained glass windows depicting perpetually disappointed-looking saints. Named after Bret's late mother. Bret works here under Father Riordan, a blunt ex-army priest. Runs a food bank opening at nine and a shelter intake starting at ten. Functions as Bret's base of operations and the place people come when they need help off the books.[/color]

[b]Elmhurst[/b]
[color=silver]The Carter House — A small detached Colonial with an enclosed brick porch and faded yellow siding, situated on a quiet tree-lined street in the residential borough of Elmhurst. Home to Elena Reyes and her daughter Dani.[/color]

[b]Midtown[/b]
[color=silver]Calder State University — A major university in the heart of Calder City. Has specialized housing for Gray students, optional but encouraged.

WKNT — Calder State's campus radio station, tucked into the Student Union. The "office" is barely more than a storage room stuffed floor to ceiling with vinyls, CDs, and old tape decks. Run by station manager Lucas Taylor, a laid-back Australian grad student.

Brewed Awakening — A fair trade coffee shop on the first floor of the CSU Student Union. Dark roasts, abundant greenery, and a warm earthy smell. Popular but often too crowded to find a table.[/color]

[b]Lower East Calder[/b]
[i][color=silver]To be added.[/color][/i]

[b]The Lantern District[/b]
[color=silver]The Velvet Room — An upscale cocktail bar known for its warm, intimate atmosphere, live music, and high profile clientele. Owned by Sienna Mercer, it functions as an unofficial neutral ground where the city’s social and political currents quietly intersect, attracting artists, politicians, Vanguard members, and criminal figures alike.[/color]


[b]Other Locations Mentioned[/b]
[color=silver]Memorial Park — Calder City's public memorial site for fallen heroes, a living reminder of the cost of heroism.

Verdure — A trendy smoothie bar with minimalist design and $14 drinks full of micronutrients no one can quite pronounce.

Union Circle — A subway station in Calder City. [/color][/indent]
