|style="color:#000;"| The city of Baltimore is big enough to contain not just the high society but the lowest of the low as well. Organized crime, industry, fancy dress parties, drug crime, petty theft - all of these can be found on a regular basis, you just have to know where to look. The police have a very full plate when it comes to keeping law and order in the city of Baltimore and its surrounding towns.

Within the City of Baltimore and the surrounding Baltimore County there is enough diversity to provide for the comfort and well-being of all members of the World of Darkness. Forrest, waterfront, high rises, industrial, inner city, suburban, farm land, wealthy housing, literally Baltimore has it all.

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.

Baltimore, MD can be considered as the City but also the County surrounding it. For the purposes of the game here at Nevermore Darkness, we will be focusing on the city itself, but also 5 of the surrounding smaller towns. These areas are all broken up by which groups of Characters hold territory within them.

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.


When are we?

 As we are the spiritual successor of a previous game, our setting starts out in August of 2007. We gain 1.5 days IC for every 1 day in real life that has passed.
  • Check out our timeline of Dresden books/events here: Timeline

The Island Divisions

 Oahu, Hawaii is the most populous of all the Hawaiian islands. It's separated generally into 5 regions, all of which can be experienced in game play.
  • 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 many, tall, well designed buildings (some not-so well designed) 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.

 PCs can choose to live in any of these areas.
