Abandoned Subway Entrance
The southern entrance to the old and abandoned subway tunnels of Ironwood, now a shadowy realm controlled by the Shadow Claw Pack. This location serves as training ground for Garou pups, a hideout, a digging ground to find historical treasure or just all kinds of trash from the 80s and early 90s. One of the few locations that remained sturdy even after a local fire in the early 2000s and an earthquake, the only one in the last 100 years. It also houses the caern guarded by the the Shadow Claw Pack, one of very pure energy. The Garou cleanse themselves in the Hidden Spring, but also commune with Gaia and the spirits of the Umbra here.
Apartment of Detective Lia Moreno
A practical and cozy small single apartment belonging to Detective Lia Moreno, featuring a bath, kitchen, small living room, and bedroom. Italian decor accents and family photos add a personal touch, though plants rarely survive here due to neglect.
Broken Pentex Waterplant
Once a thriving water treatment facility, the Broken Pentex Waterplant now stands as a haunting reminder of corporate negligence and environmental corruption. Officials and Pentex switched the city’s water source to the Ironwood River without proper treatment around 2014. Corrosive water damaged pipes, leaching lead into the drinking supply. Residents suffered health issues, and trust in government collapsed. Though the water source was later corrected, many pipes remain unsafe or unreplaced, and some residents still distrust the system. Pentex closed the Waterplant over night. Slow infrastructure repairs, political failures, and poverty continue to delay full restoration of safe tap water. The Waterplant is now mostly used by the Garou pups as a hangout spot, training ground, salvage ground or for smoking and drinking here in secret.
Byte Me!
A small tech repair shop on Ludlow Street, frequented by locals and known for its quirky decor and knowledgeable staff. Owned by a tech engineer named Elias and his family. Janis, a Glass Walker Garou of the Guardians of Gaia pack, works here part-time, hoping her human employer will not find out about her wolfishness someday.
Crescent Haven
Crescent Haven is a foreclosed and rustic bar owned by Mira, who inherited it from her grandfather, serving as a local safe house for her Garou (werewolf) Pack, the Guardians of Gaia. The bar is strategically located near the Caern of Hidden Roots in Ashgrove Hollow, where they vigilantly protect the spiritual energies and the Umbra.
Elana’s 70s VW Hippie Bus
Elana’s 70s VW Hippie Bus is a rolling patchwork of peace and personality—a sun-faded, pastel riot of swirling flowers, rainbow spirals, and classic peace signs layered over chipped teal paint. Beads dangle from the rearview mirror, and dreamcatchers flutter near the windows. Inside, it’s a charming chaos: incense smoke clings to woven curtains, mismatched pillows pile over a fold-out bed that transforms into a cozy dining nook with two cushioned benches. Shelves are crammed with herbal jars, books, and tinkered gear, while a tiny kitchen hums with life, complete with a mini-fridge, hotplate, and a cleverly installed compost toilet and compact shower. It’s messy, magical, and utterly Elana.
Garou Compound
A secure compound for Garou captured by the Hound, featuring sterile living cells converted into living rooms with basic amenities and surveillance.
Harper Quinn's Apartment
A chaotic yet cozy and colorful single apartment belonging to Detective Harper Quinn, filled with bookcases on history, local urban legends, and occult topics, alongside numerous plants.

Ocean's Bounty Shipping
Ocean's Bounty Shipping is a key player in Ironwood's maritime trade, facilitating the movement of goods both domestically and internationally. However, beneath its legitimate facade, the company is rumored to be a hub for less savory dealings, with many believing it to be a front for smuggling operations and illicit cargo. It's a place where information flows as freely as the tides, and where a gruff foreman named Silas might hold the keys to understanding Marcus Thorne's hidden life.
Pentex Regional HQ
A sleek, minimalist corporate campus called 'The Halcyon Core' that outwardly appears as an eco-conscious think tank but secretly harbors Wyrm-blighted corruption, surveillance, and Umbra-warping energies. In the private wellness retreat beneath the Core lies a subterranean wyrm blighted Black Spiral chapel, where Pentex-affiliated Dancers of the Black Spiral conduct rituals masked as “executive recalibration programs.” Wealthy humans seeking “enlightenment” may be gradually broken and remade into Fomori, cultists, or corporate thralls.

There is also a chicken coop where you can get fresh eggs daily.
The Emerald Shillelagh

Gleaming countertops and a large stove dominate the space, surrounded by an array of pots and pans.

A series of soundproof laboratories where Garou are experimented on with various drugs, medicines, and concoctions by scientists.

The War Room
The War Room is serving as a strategic hub for the Shadow Claw Pack. Its walls are adorned with maps and tactical diagrams, while the air is thick with the scent of papers and printer's ink, a testament to the planning that takes place within. Often used by Savannah and Ronan, as well as those who are responsible for guarding and protecting the Shadow Claw Pack. There is also an office desk for Savannahs City Council Work and a Hacking/Surveilance Nook, which is used by Dawson mostly for his information brokering, information gathering and surveilance.
The Watchtower
A massive, modern watchtower used by The Hound to surveil the entire Blacksite, ensuring security and containment.
The old Hunting Lodge
The old Hunting Lodge is a hidden Garou sanctuary, shrouded in natural camouflage and protected by ancient glyphs. It serves as a spiritual anchor for the Old Watch Garou pack, where they perform sacred rites, commune with spirits, and strengthen their connection to the Wyld and the earthen-mother. It is also their home and safehouse. Recently their caern energy is waning though and they struggle to figure out what causes this.
Verdant Spire
2 colossal native american menhirs, adorned with protective totems, serving as a sacred gathering site for all Garou packs of Ironwood. It is protected by Gaia and the Umbra. No other supernatural beings can enter. Humans can only see and interact with the menhirs, but for them they look very weathered and broken.
