===Places of Interest===

'''Consilium'''

* The Maxine Gavriel Collection serves as the physical location from which Houston mages coordinate their activites, air disputes, trade favors, etc. Located on a small private estate in the Upper Kirby District owned by the Gavriel family for six generations, the Consilium consists of a small chapel with a capacity of 100 persons, an art gallery displaying the family's private works, a private library containing various occult and historical volumes, a courtyard with a level 4 Hallow, four spirit Guardians and a permanent staff of eight Sleepwalker acolytes loyal to the Gavriel family. The chapel, courtyard and art gallery are open to the public, but only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

'''Y'all Come Back'''

* A bed & breakfast inn with 14 rooms, located in the center of the Hyde Park District and run by the Silver Ladder mage known as Xenios, one of the city's two Heralds. All nonresident mages intending to remain in the city more than 36 hours must ensure that the Hierarch is aware of their presence, with most expected to quarter themselves at Xenios's lodgings unless another resident mage volunteers to provide his own hospitality.

'''Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park'''

* Still stubbornly referred to as Transco Park by locals seven years after the 2003 Galleria expansion that reduced it to a third of its former size, the Hines Waterwall Park sits adjacent to the Galleria retail complex in the Uptown District. Though the park is privately owned, it is open to the public from 10am to 10pm. Until recently, the park was used as neutral ground for meetings between Pentacle mages and Seers when face-to-face meetings were necessary.

'''Saxon Tower'''

* The corporate headquarters of the Saxon Group, the 49-story skyscraper was completed in May 2000. The bottom ten floors are devoted to retail shops and parking, with the next thirty floors containing office space. Floors 40-44 contain a SkyGarden overlooking the north and east, with the remaining floors reserved as private residences for Roderick Saxon and his aides. 

'''Eternity Bar'''

* One of the few downtown nightspots consciously targeting the over-30 crowd, the Eternity Bar is frequented by somewhat older mages who still enjoy a wild night. A tri-level venue, the Eternity consists of a small bar at the street level, a rooftop patio and bar, plus a larger lounge and dance floor just below the rooftop level.

'''The Stateroom'''

* Billed as Houston's only revolving restaurant and located 24 stories above street-level, the Stateroom Restaurant and lounge tends to be the go-to location when higher-ranking mages wish to impress out-of-towners. The circular structure makes one complete rotation ever 45 minutes, giving an unparalleled view of the surrounding area.

'''Memorial Park'''

[[Image: Obelisk.jpg]]

* Inspired by a dream, in 2003 the sculptor and architect Dion Murdock erected this obelisk atop a 35-foot crest deep within the forests of Memorial Park, a 1500 acre urban park near the Uptown area. Mages later discovered the obelisk straddles a ley line running beneath the park, and marks the centerpoint of a cluster of Hallows that collectively have a rating of 3. During the winter of 2004-2005, the Lightning Razors chased away a nest of vampires that laid claim to the Hallows and have zealously guarded it ever since.
