*Storyteller's note: If your character owns any public property that you would like listed, please submit a description of the location through the character registration form.*

Wynmore (Miami) - Bustling art district within downtown Miami.

Miami Beach - Trendy hot spot filled with high end shops, night clubs, and restaurants.

Las Olas Boulevard/Fort Lauderdale Beach - A narrow road which cuts through downtown Fort Lauderdale, along which European style bistros, shops, and restauraunts sit on either side, along an intricate network of canals, and ending at Fort Lauderdale Beach (popular partying destination for locals and tourists alike).

Seminole Hardrock Hotel and Casino - Sitting within the heart of rural central Broward, this sprawling gambling and entertainent complex is owned and managed by the Seminole Indian Tribe (land included).


Clamatis Street - What was originally a street with a few night clubs on either side has evolved into an entire district within downtown West Palm Beach. Spanning several blocks, it is filled with a wide variety of nightclubs, restaurants, shops, art galleries, lounges, and theaters.

Chuchill's Pub - Neutral Brujah territory. Infamous as part of the soul of the local punk rock /alternative music scene since the late 1970s, with a reputation similar to CBGB/OMFUG (in that there is usually a junkie in the bathroom and you might get mugged by the roaches). Located in the heart of Little Haiti, it is guarded by the local Setites (as in they make sure the trouble is contained within the bar while ensuring no vehicles are fucked with).

Miami International Airport/ Fort Lauderdale International Airport / West Palm Beach International Airport - More below.

The highest point in the area is some 500 feet above sea level.
It is also a garbage dump.

The highest "natural" elevation point in the region is 14 feet above sea level. This applies to a particular streatch of road along western Broward county which was recently developed.

Most of the region ranges from sea level to 8 feet above, with some areas being below sea level. Every month some areas tend to flood when high tide coincides with the full moon. When it rains, those areas also tend to flood.

The point being that depending on the time of year, and how the weather is, the entire region has the potential to flood. Which makes being a vampire that relies upon sewer systems to make their domains rather difficult.

For that there are the canals. Each one connecting with the other either through underground pipes or above ground physical connections. In some areas such as Broward county, they cut through every city, neighborhood, and along just about every street. In other parts, they are a bit more sparse. Winding under roads thanks to countless connecting bridges, they make up the Nosferatus', and other such vampires who would call the sewers their own, territory in lieu of sewers.

It is up to the individual to carve out their own stake of the territory.
