Dexter's The front doors are made up of dark wood and frosted glass with the name written on each door. Above the doors is a neon sign that is easily seen from the street, also stating the name of the establishment. Once inside you find yourself in a small wet room type area where coats can be hung and the host podium can be found. There, usually a girl will greet you and either escorts you to the right side of the building, where the restaurant side is, or simply let you find your own way to the right where the martini bar is. During the weekends there are often Jazz bands that perform on the Martini Bar side of the building. On the left side you see just how big the establishment is, it’s a full sized four star restaurant that has a menu that is always changing thanks to a top notch cook. There are booths and tables and it’s a very intimate setting. The martini bar on the other hand is usually a place to unwind and let loose, while it also is upscale and not considered a bar it still has seen its fair share of fights. Now that it is owned by the local Streak there might be a few minor changes but it is perfect as is.

Aces & Eights Set in an unmemorable (from the outside) building in the River District, Aces & Eights is most recognizable for its huge flat windows that always flatter elaborate candy displays. The door itself is hard wood with slats of pink-and-purple tinted windows, giving it a whimsical appearance. The smell of chocolate and sugar exudes from this building, making it stand out in the very-Vampire district it calls home. The sign outside displays the word ‘ACES’ in bloody red text that seems to drip downward, while ‘Eights’ literally looks like something out of Candyland – bubblegum pink with bright blue tones. This candy store has quite the growing reputation for the shows put on by its proprietors and the rather out-of-the-box inventory it keeps. Since it’s opening, it’s attracted tourists and clientele intrigued by the stories told of the owners. After all, where else in the world can you find sweets made and sold by vampires... with a show to accompany them?

The Midnight Court (7 sub-boards) The Faerie Mound of the Midnight Court. This is the home of The Midnight Queen, Lauren Hamilton; the ruler of The Unseelie and those that are loyal to her. The mound changes at the whim of The Queen. From the outside, it looks like a regular hill, but once one enters, there is a vast underground labyrinth of corridors and mazes. Deep within the mound is the Queen's throne room and various other places where she and those of her court can amuse themselves to their heart's content. Those that are not Unseelie are not allowed within the Sithen, as the doors will not recognize any other magic. One must be invited to enter.

The Golden Court (5 sub-boards) The Faerie Mound of the Seelie Court is a place of light, life and peace – or so the Seelie would have you believe. For all appearances, to the outer world this is the Court of all that is good and just. But the Seelie are all about appearances – what is beautiful must be good; what is ugly must be evil. And not all insides match their exteriors. If you can appear to be beautiful and light, you can fit in at the Seelie Court... but if you can’t, don’t bother. The Seelie Court will recognize no magic but that of its own kind, and the sithen itself will not open for people who are not members of the Court itself. The Seelie are ruled by the young king, Eion Eibhlhin, known as the King of the Dreamscape. The interior of the Court is prone to changing at the whim of the king – so the decorations may not look the same on every visit.
