Café de Nuit

Well the ones in charge of the city, are the cities greatest prisoners.

Also you noticed one of the key themes of this city.

Its about centre points, self centered people living in the centre of a cancer like network of trains.

The darklord in charge is the Trainmaster Foamec (who more or less IS ...

I am definatley thinking that the pyre elementals should be born from innocent souls. So once in a while the judge will damn an innocent to keep new pyres being created. I am thinking of really expanding the punishment system in grand central. To the point that the whole system is a well oiled ...

Its been a while since I have been here (kinda vanished when the ravenloft reanimated project kinda died, what ever did happen to that?)


Anyway been rewritting grand central alot, and been tying it into a fantasy book I have been writting. Which cements more the act which damned my world. Also ...

I guess its becoming less and less gothic horror for peoples tastes here ^^;

I am putting this as a new post, as I feel it doesnt fit the context of the last post.

The train master is a unique entity. As a dark lord he does not have a curse. He has avoided this by creating, or helping to create people who repersent him and carry out his will.

He also is not in some ...

Since the competition by wolfkook seems to be on hold I have decided to write grand central as a ravenloft inspired realm occupying the mists.

The advantage of this, is that some of the more wacky and less gothic horror ideas are unbound by restriction. Which would be enforced upon it if it was a ...

its been a while since I have posted, mainly due to getting things ready for starting my MA in september.

Anyway I have recently been thinking about other stories in my city.

One which I have been really interested in is the watchsmith.

The original idea was a man who stole time from those who ...

Well she was originally pretty despite her not trying due to an aspect of her past I have been contemplating.

Which was that she is a fey, and was the subject of abuse. One aspect of this abuse was being forced to be appealing to the clients. Where glamour was forced on her.

In a way she was ...

If I have offended anyone I can change her apperance. Though I assure you that was not my intention.

I was more trying to portray that her gender doesnt really matter to her. She doesnt care about her apperance. All she cares about is her work.

She puts clothes on because it would be impratical ...

Ah thats what you meant.

Well one idea I have been considering is how the city and its denizens appear to others.

For example the faceless soildiers are hinted in rumours though no one ever sees them. Or maybe they dont want to see them. Maybe there always in sight but people believe there not ...

I have to say I like those ideas rotipher. I would like to expand upon this in that maybe she was forced to grow up before her time. Devoid of a childhood and of fun, but always lost within work.

It also makes her more wrapped up in stories, in that she she fabricated (bad pun?) a story to hide her ...

(An idea for a charecter I am developing, thoughts and critique are appreciated)

A spinner of tales in the most literal way, she is a tailor of equisite skill that lives deep in the bowels of the more exclusive streets of grand central.

She is the crafter of the clothes only heard of in stories ...

I think there is one more...



Also yes it might of made more sense to do an entry for each darklord-esque npc....but the wordcount would of been silly.

The idea is, each of these charecters personify an aspect of the Train Master. By killing each of these aspects you unravel the truth, and only ...

Ignorant masses?

Also Igor was the stuff I added in your view an improvement?

First, I am sorry Igor I disappointed you with this entry =(. I felt that due to the size of this domain, to tell to many little bits about
different evil beings in the city. I might have made the entry just a disjointed collection of facts.

Though I guess it cant hurt putting a few of the ideas ...
