Port Lussuria

  House Rules

 We try and stick by canon. Canon though, has been created for small personal table top games, not the massive epic settings online gaming creates. As a result, we have made a few adjustments to try and make the canon setting bled better into the online setting.

 Additional noncanon implications players will have a chance to vote on. This page will be updated as new rulings are voted into place. The following house rules, we typed up on our own, please do not rip these off rules for application elsewhere without our express permission.

Bay Pier - The primary offloading dock for the cruise ships that arrive regularly. Here, within the recently renovated warehouses, lie countless shops, bars and eateries. Curios, antiques, t-shirts and floppy wide-brimmed hats await tourist dollars to claim them. Busses and taxis crowd the streets awaiting fares. Most restaurants, bars and cafes have large outdoor sections, frequently larger than the restaurant or bar itself. Expect to pay top dollar. Located downtown, the Pier is walking distance from the Museum. *Public Room

Gulfside Island Park - This room is considered night by default. The part encompasses a portion of the long protective island that guards Lussuria Harbor. Gulfside Island is accessible only by boat or by way of the Island Bridge. Thanks to reclamation and conservation efforts over the years, the forests and grasslands here prosper relatively untrammeled by human development. There are a few public roads that give access to miles of clean, sandy, public beaches. This is a popular spot for surfers, nature lovers and fisherman, offering something of the outdoors for everyone. Nights often sport campfires and parties when the weather permits.

 The park is left open at all hours, to beach access for surfers. There is no patrol, or life guards on duty.*Public Room

 Gulf Island State Park Light House - In 1963, after 158 years as an active navigational beacon the Gulf Island Lighthouse of Port Lussuria, Virginia was finally replaced with a more modern and efficient red flashing structure called New Point Comfort Spit Light. Since it's replacement, the lighthouse has been abandoned. Open to visitors as well as vandals, the door was taken off, windows were broken, and the Fresnel lens, installed in the mid 1800's, was removed and lost. The tower interior became a home to shore birds and an alleged family of fruit bats. The lantern house also suffered severe damage after apparently being struck by lightning, although the date it happened is still uncertain.

In 1989 there was a commission, and an attempt to restore the lighthouse. The over all structure was restored, but funding ran dry leaving the project incomplete. Since the failed restoration the lighthouse has fallen into decay once more. Access into the structure is easy, as the doors once more were removed.

 The tower still sits open, and vacant - though the public avoids it now due to countless local urban legends surrounding the location and a handful of real crimes, such as a brutal murder in the early 1990's.

*The lighthouse is dominated by a long standing Gangrel presence over many decades.

 

Lussuria Industrial Park - Lussuria is a lesser hub of industrial and commercial shipping.

The main floor holds the clinic and kwoon areas as well as reception, natural pharmacy, herbal and rock gardens, a small meditative fountain amongst other amenities.
