| The Inner Sanctum |  |
The Grand Entrance
The vast arching hallway is the first glimpse of the Castle that newly arrived Slaves see. Grand paintings by famous men and women dot the dark grey stones, and tapestries portraying great points in random histories cover what walls do not have paintings. Stairs curl upwards to the second floor and back into dark hallways that swallow all light beyond what the Slaves are supposed to see. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Auction Block and Entertainment Stage
New slaves are brought to a large stage to be humiliated and jeered at by prospective buyers, before being auctioned off and rushed to their new master. When not used for Auction, the large stage has been used for little plays, talent shows, again a Master's wishes to embarrass their slave by forcing them to do tricks for the audiences pleasure.

The Shackled Walls
Tempered steel loops are embedded in the thick stone walls, allowing a creature to be held there by the shackles on their wrists until they are picked by a Master to be led away. Guards patrol the corridors, making sure no vampire is trying to get away with a free meal or there is unneeded torment being done to the creatures lining the walls. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Cage Room
Creatures that are too rebellious, or too exotic to be chained to the walls, lie in various cages fitted for them. Thick padlocks keep the doors from being opened by anyone other than the guards bearing thick rings of keys at their hips. These creatures are less safeguarded, and more prone to attacks by the guards when the sun comes up. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Feeding Room
The slaves of lesser beauty are crammed uncomfortably into a large cage, and creatures with a taste for blood or deadly punishment may buy the slaves within the cages to do with as they wish. One thing is clear, however. Once a slave exits the cage, they are rarely, if ever returned to the cage. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Inner Courtyard
Within the courtyard, only flowers that blossom under the moon grow, white and beautiful. Walkways crisscross across the manicured lawns, and in the center stands an angel, holding an angled urn which pours water into the pool below. There are even some bare pedestals set aside for a Master to tie their disobedient slave to, to mimic intricate statue stances or whatever they so wish. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Darkened Library
A rarely used library, it is nonetheless lavishly furnished, with a great collection of books, well maintained to last through the ages, and is brightly lit with both overhead lights and a large fireplace nestled in the farthest wall away from the entrance. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Private Suites
Rooms nearby to the Shackled Walls where a Master may retire temporarily to test out a slave before fully purchasing them. Some are furnished for a specific Master, others lie in wait for one to come and purchase them for a monthly rent.

The Resting Room
Creatures tired of walking the miles of expansive slave walls and cages may rest in one of the many resting rooms, furnished with comfortable chairs and usually lit with a quite fire in the mantles. Moderator: Kowaku |

No Hinderance Bar
A bar where alcohol is freely served to those with a taste for it. Beautiful slaves have their arms tied behind their backs, and collars attached to their throat, where a tray is attached for the drinks they must precariously balance to serve the men and women that frequent the place. Slaves with a tendency to being clumsy or slow, are sent to work here, where their balance and speed are pushed to the limit, for punishment may come from anywhere, at anytime, for any reason.

The New Recruits Corridor
Sometimes, there is such a rush of new slaves, that there is just not enough room for them. Those that have not been determined to become food have a small luxury of living in a small corridor, lined with small rooms with other slaves, being kept well out of sight to the other customers, until there is room for them up on the walls. They are given basic information, their blank bracelets and good food to eat. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Trainer's Dream
Naughty and rebellious slaves are usually whipped into this expansive room, where tools needed to properly train a slave on any ordeal are ready for the Master's use on their slave. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Party Room
A grand ballroom which, every night, a grand party takes place. Slaves serve drinks and provide the entertainment, and an unearthly music plays for the Nobles to enjoy as they partake in the sights of the slaves, and the little finger foods held in the trays of the slaves. Lining the walls during the party are slaves fit only to be fed upon, and they are taken down at dawn, dead and drained of blood. Moderator: Kowaku |

Solitary Confinement
When a slave is rebellious, sometimes less is more. So small cages, crammed so the creature may not stretch, stand, or even sit comfortably sit by themselves in dark rooms. The only light they see when in these suffocating cells is when the guard comes in to feed them. These slaves are not watched very well, and some leave the cells with more emotional trauma than before. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Incinerator
The cadavers of those drained of blood or otherwise demised are brought to a large furnace who's soul purpose is to destroy the bodies in its ever bright flames. The flames are worked by strong slaves that were not beautiful to live within the castle, but were instead employed to the job for the security it brings, and for their muscle. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Village of the Nobility
On the opposite side of the closest village is a well hidden mini village, where the nobles that are more permanent residents of the Castle live. The homes are more well built than the other villages, and the roads are lined with brick to cut down on dust from passing horses and what not. Small vendors are set up as well, otherworldly creatures selling their wares and trinkets for the creatures of the night and the other nobility that live there. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Dense Forest
Said to be protected by the most savage creatures, the forest surrounding the castle is merely enchanted by very strong magicks that fill the ignorant with paranoias that either drive them right back out the forest, or in circles until they are thoroughly confused and end of being a meal for a passing creature.

The Trail to the Castle
Hidden by magic, the trail is a direct pathway to the castle's main entrance. Only those with supernatural sight, stronger magic, or the knowledge of the trail, know of its existence. That does not mean it is unprotected. Many a patron has a wild side, and the forest is their favorite place to roam freely. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Ravine
Behind the Castle, a few miles through the forest, lies a jutting formation of rocks, which overlooks a steep drop off of several hundred feet. This was at first the dumping ground of the dead bodies, long ago, and if one explores the stream bed at the bottom, some bones may still be retrieved. Moderator: Kowaku |

A Clearing of Statues
Within a small clearing within the forest, comes another forest of marble statues of creatures long since past. Whether they are depictions of creatures that had come and gone through the castle, or merely there for visual stimulation, this little garden of statues lies just westward of the Noble's Village.

The Bath House
On the east side of the Noble's village, a large bath house had been constructed over a natural hot spring in the area. The attendants are slaves used to humid heat found inside the rooms, and attend to all the needs of their visitors. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Protected Fields
Acres upon acres of land protected by electric fences keeps the livestock in, or the orchards protected, and the evil creatures out. However, if one really wants in, all one has to do is jump higher than the fence itself. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Winking Gypsy's Bar
A bar in the village that serves not so good ale and beer, but to the poor villager, it does just fine. A small stage at the end of the room is set up, usually for cheap parlor tricks or the occasional minstrel that travel through their village. They refuse to house, feed, or give any hospitality to any creature who's destination is the Castle. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Golden Lion Inn and Tavern
Weary travelers may rent a room and a hot meal for just a few silver pieces. The food is good and the rooms are kept warm by the fireplaces in each room. The mistress is kind, and speaks harshly of the Castle in the Forest, for they had, long ago, stolen her son to live within the walls. She offers all the food, ale and a free room to live in as long as she lives to anyone who can retrieve her son, dead or alive. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Market Place
The dusty road through the heart of the village is lined with vendors that sell their items throughout the day, their hollers of prices and bargains only overpowered by the screams of people demanding better bargains than what they offer, and the clinking of coins between vendor and buyer.

The Prison of the Wicked
It is the only good thing the 'fiends' of the Castle contributed to the village. A large stone structure at the end of the village which houses the wicked from both castle and village, and it patrolled by burly guards that needed a break from protecting the slaves day and night. One night in the prison is enough to turn a petty thief into a saint, swearing never to steal ever again. Moderator: Kowaku |

| Outer Lying Kingdoms |  |
The Kingdom of Eosinth
The kingdom that lies to the west of the Castle. The king and queen there are religious zealots, thinking that if they regularly send hunters to their death to free the slaves and kill the undead residents there that they will be granted access to heaven. Most hunters sent from this area are just as crazy about their monotheistic religion, worshiping the sun as a deity. Moderator: Kowaku |

The White Kingdom of the Pearls
An Island kingdom that lies across a small ocean channel to the south of the Castle. The King and Queen try to ignore the Castle, denying its existence if any word comes up about it. These are the traders, who really don't care who they barter with, so long as the buyer has gold to sell. In the underworld marketplaces, their exotic beauties are sold to be slaves in the Castle, though it's not mentioned to anyone who doesn't already know that. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Arctic Kingdom of the Wind
The kingdom that lies to the frigid north. If hunters bring them slaves from the Castle, they have the technology to break the curse of the bracelets, and promptly free the slave and even offer a small pouch of gold which could be used to return them to wherever they may have come from. The King and Queen are pale and fair skinned, and it's rumored that they are closely related to one another. Moderator: Kowaku |

The Lunar Kingdom of the Moon
The least threatening kingdom which lies to the east of the Castle. The land the castle lies on is technically within this kingdom, on the farthest westward border. The King and Queen actually send them beautiful creatures to live within the Castle, and it's rumored that they are patrons every once in a while to indulge in the beautiful flesh within the castle walls. Of course such rumors are only that, right? Moderator: Kowaku |
