3. River Market

A vast arrangement of stalls and pavilions, the great open air market is a gathering place, news depot, rumor mill, and provisionary. Visited by servants and working class alike, it is said to be the beating heart of London's underground.

6. Queen's Palace

In most regencies, this secluded villa is the retreat of the queen, meant to allow her to step away from court life. Victoria makes only occasional use of it.

8. Templar Hospital

Disbanded five centuries prior, it is a bit of a mystery why the house of healing was named after the crusader arm of the church, but it is believed to be linked to the Knights Hospitaller inheriting their legacy. Templar Hospital is the source of dire tales regarding medical experimentation performed on the Fae.

12. Guild Arcana

Vast with the patronage of London's upper crust, the Guild Arcana is home to the self proclaimed masters of the magical arts and the journeymen and apprentices they train.

Though the Church pays lip service to disapproval, the Guild has the support of crown and the social elite, and the church lost the power to stand against secular entrenchment long ago.

13. Hexen Ward

The Fae have placed numerous changelings, spirits of lesser faelings, in mortal babes to grow and mature among them, but not all changelings retain their faerie allegiance. Some are moved to side with mortals. These are the Hexen.

'Hexen Ward is an impoverished cluster of decaying buildings situated in the midst of a ramshackle neighborhood that is home to criminals and hard men, but it is a place where mortals and Fae alike are loathe to intrude. It is an ideal haven for rebellion.
