Lakeview Estates

Welcome to the small town of Lakeview Estates. Although the town isn't particularly known for it's welcome committee, you will soon find out all the Rights and Wrongs of the mid-eastern town in no time. Located in the center of our town is none other then the 'Sinkhole'. Designed to be a desolate wasteland for anything that's supposed to be submerged and never resurface, the only problem was that the labs and factories boarding the lake started to realize this and use it as their own personal dump. Over time, the lake started to spew out fumes and radiation from chemicals that were dipped into the water, staining it an awful yellow hue. Dogs that were exposed to the radiation over a long period of time were marked insane. They experienced extreme bloodlust and a craving for flesh. The dogs weren't able to make rational decisions and to contain both human and canine, they shut off the Lake District, sealing in the TomToms and their human company. Now, two packs have emerged out of the one standing one that had lasted over one hundred years. One pack, the Coys, are determined to bring the TomToms out into the open, while the Cartels are determined to put them behind bars. No one knows when the war will end but one thing is for sure: if the TomTom fence fails, like scholars and dogs around believe, then they have a bigger problem then their own petty feud.

{ weather }

The weather has finally gone from the blistery winter winds to a calm blooming spring. Rain showers are scattered across lakeview, aborbing the lake's water and dispensing it all over the land. It's not particulary safe to stand out in the rain, but then again, if it's your only shot for water. The acidic substance tends to burn through flesh and fur if exposed long enough. Temperatures are ranging from 60-70 degrees during the day, to a cold 10 degrees and under at night.

TomTom DomainLAKE DISTRICT
	The Sinkhole Located in the exact center of the city, the sinkhole is literally a toxic wasteland. Tinted a yellow hue, the lake swallows up any piece of your past or present that is thrown in. Radiation comes from the lake, and often times bodies are thrown in and never resurface. Due to radiation, canines and humans confined in the TomTom Domain go insane. Bloodlust comes natrual with the package, and even if your removed, you suffer lifelong effects of the radiation. Moderators: Mercy., Hellhound	0	0
	Abandoned Asylum They used to think there were just crazy people in Lakeview, but now they know for sure. It's the lake, and the Asylum located in the lake's district is not helping at all. Workers went home after a day at work at the Physch unit, and often times started to show common dieses they treated in their patients. The workers were banned into the lake district and a fence was put up around it. The Asylum patients were freed and immediatly took over their domain. Now the building is held as a refuge for few past patients and a few TomToms that raid the cafeteria for long stale food. Occasionally even the blood and flesh of a human seeking home there.

	Warehouses [TOMTOM PACK HEADQUARTERS.] Located along the outside of the sinkhole are a series of warehouses. Nobody ever knew exactly what was held inside its close confines, but after the closing off of the lake district, the TomToms and various homeless started to examine its contents. Although shipments of food and medicine are stored in a few of the smaller warehouses, the factories, and the chem labs had long kept drugs and toxic substances in containers in most. It is particulary dangerous to taste the food in the storage centers, but if its your only shot what have you got to lose? Starvation, or Poisoning? Moderators: Mercy., Hellhound	2	5	on Mar 8, 2010, 1:20am by evkav in Joining!
	Factories In the beginning, or the early days, There were a series of five factories. No one knew what they produced, but yet no one questioned their motives. Turns out the Rich always turned a blind eye to the rest of the soceity. The factories ended up dumping toxic material into the lake, which made it into what it is known as today. The "Sinkhole" although the factories were abandoned and shut down after the lake district was fenced off, TomToms still risk their lives to get into the territory and salvage the chemicals for what they're worth. If exposure to the harsh chemicals over a long period of time can improve the sanity of TomToms, maybe just enough to be able to muster up an escape plan from the district. The factories are surrounded by rugged terrain, and involve a few craters filled with chemicals that could very well burn off the flesh of any human, or dog. It is hell on earth to get to the factories, and even worse getting back out. Moderators: Mercy., Hellhound	0	0
	The Pub (1 sub-board) The pub has been around for as long as the town. In the early days it was a place of gathering, and often times new neighbors would bring various foods to greet each other. Dogs got free handouts and strays were offered leftovers and a place to stay. When the dark times came and the sinkhole started to leak radiation into the air, the pub master went insane and started to poison his wares. After being shut down by the city hall, the pub was boarded up and the lake district was fenced off. Dogs sneak in hoping to find leftover food or a warm place to rest against the cold arctic nights, but often only come out poisoned by the bartender's concotions that have leaked all over the floor. The only visible entrance is through two planks in the back door, or an unpleasant tumble through the window of a busted out wine cellar. Moderators: Mercy., Hellhound	0	0
	Boathouse Along the edge of the now barbed wired lake lies a small shack and a dock that extends into the murky abyss. Nobody knows why the dock hasn't sunk in along wtih everything else, but the wood structure is still standing strong. Inside the shack are various nets and fishing poles, but among the best of the tools are the buckets full of stale crayfish. Although they upset the average dogs stomach, they eat them anyway of course if only a few at a time. Dogs often take a long walk onto the dock and some even jump in, never to return to the surface. A few take their chances and stay in the rigid shack overnight only to wake up and be murdered by another dog. It's a bloody world out there in the lake district, and the shack happens to be where the badest rest. Moderators: Mercy., Hellhound	0	0
Coy DomainMIDDLE GROUNDS
	Boundary Border Fence Bordering around the lake district is the boundary fence that seperates the sinkhole and its natrual draw, and the middle grounds. Although the middle grounds receive some radiation, it is not enough to cause insanity, and most of the time dogs end up only feeling bloodlust. Able to make rational decisions. The boundary fence is like a beacon to dogs on the lake district side. Often times TomToms will roam across their side of the land braying for Coys and Loners to help them out. Guardians from the Cartels can often be found roaming the fence line of the middle grounds in Coy territory. This often brings fued to this particular location. This spot also marks the beginning of Coy territory, and the end of Lake district. Moderators: Mercy., Autumn	1	4	on Mar 7, 2010, 6:19pm by Autumn in Never been the kind. {...
	Sewing Factory The sewing factory has been in business for years and is one of the biggest ways that Lakeview gets their income. The factory in itself contains four levels of floors, and obtains a lot of acrege behind its buildings for cotten fields. A great source for their cloth in the summer. Dogs often sneak into the basement during the night and take refuge there, and during the day scope out in the cotten fields for fair game. Moderators: Mercy., Autumn	0	0
	Lilac River (1 sub-board) Lilac River runs along the boundary between the middle grounds and the uptown district. This is referred to as the boundary lines between the Coy and Cartel domains. Cartels can often be found swimming over onto enemy territory to patrol the Coy domain, but are often stopped and killed before they set two paws on the bank. The river is named after its uncanny tendency to have fresh lilacs bloom on both sides of the river, despite the fact that the temperature in Lakeview is bipolar. Bloodwhores camp near the lake to the north on the coy side of the boundary, picking up their victims as they venture into unkown territory. Moderators: Mercy., Autumn	1	3
	Coy's Ridge [COY PACK HEADQUARTERS.] The ridge is located on the edge of the woodlands, considered part of the Coy domain, it looks out over the strawberry fields that belong to the Cartels. Often times it is the place to go to think, and it also happens to be the place where Coy executions are taken place. If you happen to be a prisoner of war, then you better pray you can survive the landing. As tall as a building, only one dog has even survived the drop, and he ended up being finished off by a group of Cartel guardians by morning. The cliff had been nicknamed a few things, but its favorite among both packs is called the "Devil's drop." Sometimes it is the last thing you see.

	Fern Forest (1 sub-board) Fern forest is located near the Lilac river. Although it borders most of the Coy's land, it also happens to border itself along the edge of Coy's ridge and the cotten fields behind the sewing factory. Although most Loners take refuge in the woods, it is not smart to stay in its confines after dark. Coy's that have gone blood thirsty often scout around looking for game and the unsuspecting Cartel guardian. Herbs are in abundance here, and during the daytime hours many Placentinas make a stop into the forest for a fresh stock. A small creek runs through the woods and empties out into the Lilac river. Moderators: Mercy., Autumn	1	3	on Mar 13, 2010, 8:09pm by Chey in Have I hit the bottom ...
	Green Houses The green houses are located on the edge of the Coy domain. Among all else, they are the best type of shelter in the middle grounds. They posses running water, edible plants, and most importantly heat during a cold, winter night. Although fertilizer contaminates a lot of the water and the air in some of the green houses, the ones that are easily accesible are small and cramped and reach to their peak of temperature during the day, almost making them unbearable to endure right after the sun sets. If you want to rest in their haven you will have to wait awhile after the sun goes down, and time yourself incredibly close to get out before the sun scorches the glass and potentially kills everything in the houses.

Cartel DomainUPTOWN DISTRICT
	Strawberry Fields (1 sub-board) The Strawberry fields lie across the Cartel territory. They are among the best ways to make a living in Lakeview, and the rich defnitely have taken notice in that. The strawberries are risen with all natrual perservatives, so often times they are able to be eaten by Cartel travelers. Lovers romp the fields during the day and settle down near the edge of the patches for the night, cuddling together for warmth, and most times the thickest patches are among the ones who receive the most attention. The fields become sort of a battle field, and a labyrinth after the lights go down however, due to little lighting you have no idea where you are so it is best to get to a safe hiding place and rest for the night. Be sure to be quiet as a mouse, you defnitely don't want to attract the attention of a blood whore, or a blood thirsty Coy. An unexpected surprise at every turn. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	Ocean Shoreline Among all the beautiful aspects of the Uptown district, the best and by far most gorgeous sight for the eyes to lay on is the precense of the Ocean shoreline. The Ocean had long been a place for dogs to go during the day to take a dip and cool off beneath the hot summer sun, often times you could find leftover scraps from the rich and their picnics to snack on, but don't plan on staying overnight. If you sleep long enough on the comfy mattress of sand you will no doubt wake up submerged in water. The tide rises all the way up to the top of the coast, drowning out whatever laid on the beach before. Waves rise up to about eight feet and thrash across the shoreline. This is often when male bodies "disappear" after blood whores lay a paw on them. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	Lakeview Village (1 sub-board) [CARTEL PACK HEADQUARTERS.] The village is typically the new version of the lake district. In it are several factories, about a dozen shops, the cityhall, and a few resteraunts that bustle with life. The Court lays on the outskirts of the city along with a gas station and a truck stop diner. If you want a one way ticket out of Lakeview the edge of the village is the place to go. From there it is a straight shot down the highway towards the rocky mountains and a whole new life. Too bad most dogs don't make it that far. Due to Cartel and Coy fueds, the village is constantly under seige during the night, and often times fires are started in various ways. The villagers turn a blind eye, because frankly they don't want to deal with what there town has turned in to. During the night, you best be with a guardian or in some sort of shelter, because that's when all hell breaks loose. You can find food from leftover scraps in dumpsters, or handouts from the diners, but the best and by far best way to get food for the blood whores, is there den in the basement of the courthouse.

	Market Place The markets have long been a source of good and reliable imported goods from around the world, among all the exotic dishes and treats you can find, the most useful tools happen to be the fresh stands full of various medicines and herbs, and the animal food that is sold in the back. Dogs around often sneak into the markets and steal some of their wares, causing booth owners to double their security and set up traps. Chances are if your caught their is very little chance you will be found alive. Most probable explanation would be a dip in the sinkhole. The most humane way of disposing of pests in Lakeview. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	Cabin Along the edge of the Cartel border on the opposite end of the Coy's border, lies a cabin secluded in the forest. Normally this wouldn't matter much to strays, but this cabin happens to be abandoned, and happens to be stockpiled with food and supplies. The structure withstands storms and is hidden from most of the Cartel domain, meaning if you didn't hear about it, it means you will probably never find it. Because of this, this is the perfect place for lovers to meet and for interrelations between the Coy and Cartel to take place. The cabin provides a steady need for warmth and shelter in the long, cold nights. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	Cartel Lake Cartel lake has to be the only lake that is not poisoned by the sinkholes draw, it provides a steady source of freshwater if your able to access it through Cartel territory. This is often more bother then its worth due to the fact its located in the back of the Domain, and is heavily guarded by Guardians who are young and fresh at their new found skills. Although night shields the brute or fae mildy, its still dangerous trecking to this cold-water paradise. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
The OutlandsUNCLAIMED TERRITORY
	Hospital On the outside of Lakeview lies a hospital in the glow. It is a fairly big facility, but tends to be closed whenever an actual diaster happens. It is only open three days a week, and when it is in business customers are few and far in between. Strays are welcome when the doors are closed, and most dogs hang around the buildings even when patients are in residence there. When the mayor is in however, make sure to stay clear unless you want a one way ticket to the sinkhole. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	The Lighthouse Up on a cliff on the edge of the ocean lies a lighthouse that has been used as long as the town as been in function. Although ships are few and far between the house's light is always running, and the inn keeper's quarters are now abandoned. Mice infest the place and if you enter there is always a chance you will fall through the floorboards and into the concrete base below the building. The door at the top of the tower has been rusted shut, so theres no way to get out on deck. No food is in storage. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	Harring's Farm Harring's farm has been abandoned since before the town has been established. Laid on the outskirts of the Cartel territory, it spreads out past the strawberry fields with its endless fallow fields. A cow fence provides a dangerous way into the property, and most of the time ends up implanting itself in an unobservent dogs side. The floor in the house, like the lighthouse is very fragile. Dangerous to treck upon. Food is plentiful in the form of game. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	The Road to Nowhere A lot of people call it the road to mysteries. Anyone who has ever laid a paw on it and descended down it has never came back. Most dogs are supersticious towards it, not daring to go anywhere near it. It is after all the only paved road that runs through the entire town and beyond. Most dogs try to stay clear of it, while more adventrous ones take the treck and never come back. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	Clearwater Lake Clearwater lake is the only lake outside of the Cartel territory that pocesses freshwater. Although it isn't the cleanest, and half the dogs who take a dip, or take a drink end up sick, those who are immune to it enjoy a nice hot day by its waters, it's only a matter of finding out if your immune to it, or not that decides if you live to see the next day. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
	Rose Petal Meadows Rose petal Meadows are the place to come on a spring afternoon. It has to be the most beautiful sight in Lakeview to watch as a thousand different flowers bend and sway in the wind. The meadows spread out over a big surface, and are commonly visited by dogs all over. Turns out it just so happens to be to spend the day with the ones you love. Although the meadows don't belong to a particular pack, the Coy always have a tendency to hang around here. Moderator: Mercy.	0	0
