Revision as of 02:02, 16 December 2020

This is not an exhaustive list of Forsaken-relevant locations, but these are certainly some of the most trafficked. Also, please refer to the Hisil locations as well.

Turs

There are several Turs around the city and surrounding area. Before the The Wounding of Bancroft, they were casual formalities. Since, they've become more designated safe places.

Law of Tur

The rules standard to every Tur in the city are as defined below and apply to every Forsaken, Wolf-Blooded, supernatural or mortal packmates.

  • Violence is prohibited.
  • The actions of a guest are the personal responsibility of whomsoever invited them.
  • Violation of the Oath or the laws of Tur are met with swift and indiscriminate retribution.


Amadeus Lounge

Amadeus Lounge is owned and operated by the new money, ex-pat Uratha Ianto Thomas and represents an early gamble and eager investment into the local community in a calculated effort to put down roots when Ianto first immigrated to Philadelphia in 2005.

It worked, and the proprietor has spared little expense in furnishings and amenities. It has Wi-fi, strong booze, private rooms, and plenty of dressed-up raw meat dishes on the menu, and occasionally the premises will be closed for a People-only "private event".


Yakaon House

The Yakaon House is the, in essential terms, the Philadelphia wolves' inheritance bequeathed by Tkuaxwe, or He Who Walks Slowly, a Lenape Elodoth of the late 19th century who acted as a community organizer, first, and later as an older brother figure to many young firebrands who resisted the influence and resonances of the Second Industrial Revolution at the turn of the 20th century, when textile and steel mills, automotive and chemical plants dominated the skyline with smokestacks and exploited the working poor.

While his descendants still maintain legal ownership of Yakaon House, Tkuaxwe's wishes dictated that it be a place of public service to the Philadelphia Forsaken, and a hot shower and a fresh bed has always been provided to any of the People that should have need of it.


Frankford Avenue Bridge

The smallest Tur location and the only one that is also a glade, this bridge has served as clandestine and safe place to meet for the Uratha for centuries.

It's rumored that the Frankford Avenue Bridge was one of the original meeting places involved in brokering the first armistice that pre-dated the Charter of the People's Delaware Valley Protectorate, and it's not uncommon for young wolves to regard it with an extra bit of reverence, despite how small and non-descript it is.

Fighting in a glade requires a successful Resolve roll, and all violent actions (including entering Gauru) incur a -2 penalty.



Other Places

There are non-Tur locations around Philadelphia that are also often frequented by the People.

The Canals

Sometimes, a rendezvous is best taken as a walking meeting, and the Canals are perfect for that, which is not to say that you won't occasionally see someone or someones loitering underneath its arches or alongside one of its narrow waterways.

While relatively pleasant during the day, at night, some segments are quite poorly lit, particularly those further from city center, and in the dark it's easy to remember that it's rumored there are troves of strange bones buried underneath the rubble used to fill the parts of the canal that have been closed.

Graffiti Pier

More soon.
