{{tab}}If you would like to help out in one of the mixed groups and provide protection for their territory despite the fact that they are not the same flavor of supernatural you are, it is more than encouraged! We want you all to work together, to have reasons to play with one another, we just also realize that there are some of you that would prefer not to interact with other supernatural groups. For this reason, there will be areas on the grid that largely only see traffic by their own sphere.

Oahu Region Map.jpg


Oahu

An island where danger is the farthest thing from your mind.

But closer than you'd ever think.

The Areas of Oahu

 Oahu is big enough to contain not just the high society but the lowest of the low as well. You can find people that happily live in a high rise of Honolulu and spend all of their free time on the beach, catching waves with their fellow surfers. Literally the melting pot of people on Hawaii is varied and wide, the chances are good anyone could be here.


Where can I build? Where can I claim Territory?

 The Island of Oahu is organized into several small areas that all have their own flavor to them. This game is considered entirely crossover in terms of mantles and the interactions between PCs. There's no reason not to have your home anywhere you feel your PC would consider it a good place to live. Keep in mind, this is Hawaii. People might spend their time essentially 'living' on the beach. You do not have to create a home for yourself on grid, but it is something you have the option for.


Useful Links

The City and The County

 Oahu, Hawaii is the oldest of all the Hawaiian islands. It's separated generally into 5 regions, all of which can be experienced in game play. In addition, we've provided two more geographical regions for the game.
  • Central Oahu - The fertile, verdant valley between the two mountain ranges on Oahu. Many homesteads and even some ranches can be found here along with farmland.
  • Honolulu - The largest city in Hawaii, by far. Beautiful, with tall, well designed buildings and a bustling commerce.
  • Leeward Coast - Dryer than the lush Windward Coast, smaller rural villages exist here along with several less-known beaches.
  • North Shore - 7 miles of some of the most glorious beaches in the world. Home of true, big-wave surfing and world renowned surf competitions.
  • Windward Coast - Lushly tropical countryside giving way to perfected white sand beaches. This is the wetter, more verdantly covered area of the island.
  • Tropical Forest - Less used by tourists for its wild nature, the locals may find this a wonderful place to spend time, especially those that really like the wild aspect of the place.
  • Volcanic - An area of previous volcanic activity. It does draw the tourists, but it also provides plenty of research for anyone interested in volcanology or geology to name a few. Stark landscape covered with previous lava flow.

PCs can choose to live in any of these areas.
