Lachley Cathedral

Lachley Cathedral is the oldest building in Moorshire Lake. Built over two hundred years ago, it serves as the historical anchor of the district of Lachley. It has a very detailed past, having survived WWI and WWII. The denomination of the Church has long been forgotten as both Protestants and Catholics claim to have built it. It is no longer in use and serves as a tourist attraction these days.

Lachley Cathedral is supposed to hide many secrets. Some say it is haunted, others that a unnamed Saint and treasure lie buried deep within the tombs underneath the cathedral. Few know the real secrets of the old cathedral and even fewer are apt to share their secrets.

Moorshire Lake Park

In the middle of the city of Moorshire Lake is the namesake of the city. Moorshire Lake is a mystery. No one really knows how a lake came to be here since there is no river flowing into it and it is not man made. It is believed that it is supplied by a underground aquifer. No matter the origin, it is by far the largest tourist attraction in Moorshire Lake. The whole lake and surrounding area is a city park. All sorts of activities are available, including a yacht club and hiking trails.

The Moorshire subway system runs under the lake and a transfer station is located under the lake. There is no way to come to the surface at the transfer station other than a train to one of the many stations in the city. The lake is pretty much pollution free since polluting the lake has been illegal since the beginning of Moorshire Lake. It is said that no place in Moorshire Lake is more than ten miles away from the large body of water. The lake itself extends about one mile across and one and a half mile wide. It is about 300 ft deep at the middle (which is where the transfer station is).

The Church of the Spirit of Creation

Tucked back safely on a small lane between the Westhaven shopping plaza and the Moorshire mall is a small, unassuming building. Most people don't know that there is anything down that lane and even less know that the building is actually in use. This is the headquarters of the Church of the Spirit of Creation. Formally it was the office of a small-time lawyer. Once he was exposed to the truth of the world, he turned it into what it is today. His name is Keith Mallen and he is the leader of the Moorshire Lake branch.

The PC's do not know of its existence at this time but Alice and certain members of MI-13 do. MI-13 leaves the Church alone, recognizing that any allies in the fight against the Nihls are good. Even though the two groups do not work together directly, they will help each other if need be and sometimes share information.

Bales House School

Bales House School is not located in the best part of town. Then again, it is hardly regarded as the best school. Bales is perhaps most noteworthy for poor academic standards and the poor behavior of its students, even in public. It is by no means only the boys who are the source of the problem, either-- indeed, "Bales House Girls" is a byword for trouble in many quarters.

Some hoped, with Hana Jeong and Judy Nesmith transferring to Ashford Academy, that the worst days of the Bales House Girls were over. There is no reason to believe this to be true, however-- Hana was not without rivals, and if anything, the power vacuum created by her absence has only made things uglier in Bales House.
