Shruikan Tenshi
Hellgrind...Nocturne's unique fighting/training zone where one building sits around three different enviroments where training and fighting varies vastly. Behind the building is a swampy area, where trees grows tall heights and the ground is muddy and some areas hold quicksand. Not to mention half the time it rains in the area strangly. Infront of the building is a desert like area, being fairly cold due to the eternal night shrouding Nocturne and its city. Rocky columns stand as high as 25ft-50ft, scattered around. Rock climbing for stamina and strength can be done here, not to mention vampires, werewolves and other many creatures of the darkness can practice high speed chases by running along and bouncing from column to column, or simply practice usage of guns and arrows from heights. To the other right side of the building is a barren field which is close by to the springs, the heat radiating from the gorund making steam shoot up from the ground occasionally which can cause burns to those who don't have on proper gear to defend themselves from the heat. Of course some distance away is a spring, which leads to the other springs. So you may cool off and let the warmth relieve your muscles and body. And to the left is the grassy plains, where those who like to practice stealth loves to play, or simply fighting. This site is located far off in the city, away from other places. With different enviroments to practice in one can get a feel for a bit of everything, making it less likely to get in a bad situation of a negative enviroment. Bloodline and Elemental skills here can be learned faster -2 posts, but only nocturne members. (if this is allowed, it benefits all who's nocturne members)The Swamp
The swamp is a place for those who likes to challenge themselves against an annoying enviroment that is also dangerous. For those who train/fight/travel here, after every three posts the person must roll a dice 1-6, if its a one, you'll fall into quicksand and must get out. Each time someone enters here, they must roll a dice. 1-6, if its even it rains. The rain lasts for 10 posts of anyone who posts here. With the branches and many creatures that lives in the swamp, this is a test of survival.
The desert
The desert is always cold except during summer, but regardless still cold. Those who like to challenge themselves against the harsh temperatures of the desert is welcomed here. The desert stretches out fairly far, and not many life forms are here naturally. The occasional sand storms plague here. There rock pillars that decorate the area, standing at heights from 25-50ft, making great sniping or simply practicing your skills with guns or bows. Roll a six sided dice. if its a two or four, a sandstorm hits, reducing sight.
The grassy plains
For those in favor of stealth or simply having the good old fashion of hunting, this place is it. Not much else can benefit, other then a good area to fight or exercise. Herbs can be gotten from here for those clerics.
The burning plain
Fire lovers would be great here. Those who like dangerous fighting grounds that are intense and explosive here's your playground. Every so often bursts of steam erupts in random locations. If you want to be able to resist high temperatures so if fire grazes past you, you are use to the heat as long as it doesn't hit you dead on. Careful though, you get hit by the steam bursts you'll be burned, some more then others. Those who like using explosive better watch it too, too much can make a major steam eruption. Roll a six sided dice, if its a two or a four, you'll get hit by a steam blast from the ground. This doesn't really bother those with alot of armor or scales
The center house
The house that rests in the center where the four fields meet, is filled with various equipment, such as bullets for various guns, arrows, swords and shields. spears, lancers, scythes, gauntlets and greaves, you name it. Though not in mass quantaties like the weapon/armory shop, but a good number. The house is three story, on the second floor is a small place to get food, like a cafe. blood packets and other supernatural food/drinks are given here as well. The third story is for those who want to rest and relax. An indoor pool was here for that very reason, the water's heat serving like a hot spring and varies beds for those who want to rest after a long day of training

Shruikan walked through the deserty area, been so for so many hours. Finally he came across an old broken down two story building was. Thinking to himself, he surveyed what he just walked through, then noted the grassy plains, behind the building was a swamp, and to the other side of it was a steaming plain. Idea came to his mind that he can turn this place into something that'll benefit allnocturne members. knowing this will be a handful, he got to work.
[1/10]
Returning from the swamp with wood, he got to work. Chopping the wood and cutting it with precise skill, he boarded up the walls so they looked better and shaved them with his nails and a blade so they'll be nice and clean, even as well. Taking polish he worked the walls, giving it a nice sheen to them. The floor is going to be interesting to do, but he has to get it done.
[2/10]
After ripping the floor up, Shruikan brought in stones, and began making the flooring. Cutting the stones with a certain pattern, he set them onto the ground, which slowly but surely started to become a new floor. Now he'll have to leave some space for the stairs to be fixed, but after an hour or two of setting stone he was done with the first floor. Now he had to polish it. Joy He thought.
[3/10]
He returned with a mop and bucket, putting cleaning solution in it and started mopping, though previously he swept what debries was left. Moving his arms back and forth, he started to be able to see his reflection. A small smile crossed his face as he continued mopping. He looked over at the shelves, closet and all the bigger shelves. Dusty as hell, so after he mopped he set it to the side and broke out the duster.
[4/10]
Dusting off the shelves, he began to think what he could fill them with. Looking out the window as he dusted them, he realized this place could make a great training facility if properly done. After finishing the dusting, he went upstairs, along the way polishing them so they would be nice and neat. getting upstairs the flooring was wood, so he took a buffer for wood and buffed the flooring, fixing the rough edges in the floor. After finishing it he opened the wood and swept out the dust.
[5/10]
Closing the window he wiped it down, then moved to the kitchen. he had to dust off the counters and the stove, everything. He wiped the tables down and cleaned the fridge of all the foul food....which was very nasty. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Now he had to finish wiping down the chairs and fix the lights.
[6/10]
Even though he had the lights fixed, he set candles everywhere so they would provide a lighting to fall in place with the surroundings of Nocturne. He picked up the phone, now that the cable was set and called several friends. Some being cooks and chefs, so they can get the place going. With them on the way, the business up here can get done, especially some of them being previous owners of five star restaurants.

Now with the third floor, he goes up buffering the stairs along the way, and reaches the top. Finding an empty swimming pool, which looked more like a jakoozi. Filling it with water from a hose that stretched through the house, he started cleaning the filters and the works so the bubbles and temperature were right. He opened the closet and replaced the old towels with new, fresh towels. He changed the sheets on few of the beds that were there, so the people may rest in them and finally swept the place, finishing it with dusting.
[8/10]
Going down stairs he opened the doors, the chefs and cooks moving upstairs with loads of food and cooking material, pots and pans and the works. Business will start very soon, he left for a few hours, returning with boxes of weapons and bullet cases for all guns. Setting them in the right shelves and storing them in the right containers, the weapons were finally set at the end of the day.
[9/10]
People were finally coming in, fighters and warriors from different locations of Nocturne came by, some heading up stairs for a hearty meal and others getting weapons. Shruikan nodded, everything was set in the right place. He turned, walking out the door heading back for Fenrir.
